On November 28, 2012, the City of Vancouver posted the draft 2013 Capital and Operating Budgets, and welcomes public input. Vancouver City Council will consider a proposed Capital Budget of $258 million and Operating Budget of $1.148 billion when it meets in a special evening session on Tuesday, Dec. 4 at City Hall. The proposed budgets are being brought to Council in a combined report for the first time under a new best-practice based process. 

There are only a handful of tickets left before we reach venue capacity!

Our annual Arts Fête is just around the corner, and the Alliance staff and board are looking forward to the opportunity to catch up with our members, volunteers, and other members of the arts community - and hopefully to see some new faces as well!  

Dear mem­bers and friends of the Cana­dian Con­fer­ence of the Arts,

The Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance (GVPTA) announces its signature industry event: the Making a Scene Conference. This year’s theme is A Question of Balance.  The Conference is a critical forum for Metro Vancouver’s professional theatre community, which will come together to reflect upon its achievements, to assess its state of affairs, and to envision its future. Making a Scene will be held at the Columbia Theatre in New Westminster November 29 through December 1. 

From its cool studio spaces to its great venues, Grandview-Woodland plays an important role in the City’s cultural landscape. The neighbourhood is home to artists of all types, including renowned carvers, writers, sculptors, musicians, actors and more. In fact, more artists and people connected with the arts economy live in this community than any other place in Vancouver.
