2022 was a big year for the EAS, made possible by the generous support of our donors. Donors like you are an integral part of our work. Your efforts enable Vancouver’s Eastside arts sector to thrive.
We thank you & celebrate your support as part of the Eastside Arts Society family!
The Eastside Arts District is home to more artists and arts organizations per capita than anywhere else in Canada. For creatives, supporters of the arts, and the community at large, Eastside Arts Society programming promotes arts and culture and is a recognized as catalyst for vibrant engagement and exchange.
Because of your generous support, in 2022:
- We welcomed over 30,000 people to the 26th annual Eastside Culture Crawl, with 500 participating artists over the 4-day festival – a return to pre-pandemic attendance!
- 700 people participated in hands-on art making in Strathcona Park during the Create! Festival.
- Studio 101 gave 200 public school youth the opportunity to create art with professional artists.
- We released our report ‘Seizing the Moment: Establishing the Eastside Arts District’, charting next steps to making the district a reality.
This year we need your support to:
- Create more public awareness of our free and low-cost Culture Crawl and Create! Festivals.
- Take vital next steps in engaging stakeholders and making progress with public policies to establish the Eastside Arts District.
- Enable equity and diversity in our programming by creating opportunities and partnerships with underrepresented artists and groups.
- Enable the delivery of enriching and life-changing arts programming for local youth.
We remain focused on supporting, protecting and uplifting the diverse visual artists who have forged East Vancouver’s unique and cherished creative cultural ecology. We are doing critical work around the preservation and protection of artist production spaces and cultural heritage. Through the actions of this work, the Eastside Arts Society aims to lead and collectively advocate for the sustainability of all arts and culture on the Eastside.
As a registered charity, we rely on donors and partners like you to be there for our community, our artists, and the youth we support. We hope you will consider making a donation to the Eastside Arts Society.
