Parker Art Salon shows creativity en masse
This weekend’s second annual Parker Art Salon will bring more than 60 Vancouver artists together to showcase their work in a monumental space: the 152,000-square-foot warehouse-turned-gallery at 1000 Parker Street.
Organizer Niina Chebry says the Parker art community—made up of more than 220 artists using the building’s 110 studios—sees the event not just as a sale but as a way to interact with one another. “The exhibition takes place down the hall from the studios,” said Chebry. “We did this on purpose in the hopes of creating more of a spark between artists.”
Artist demonstrations and studio tours will take place on Saturday and Sunday. In addition to the main exhibit, small art pieces will be available for purchase ($200), with a portion of the proceeds going to DAREarts foundation for at-risk kids.
Check out the free exhibit from Friday to Sunday (April 22 to April 24).
