Come by and take a journey through the artistic minds of creators with diverse abilities. View stunning creations from hundreds of talented artists in our 8 studio rooms. Take the opportunity to connect with them during the show and discover their unique perspectives, creative processes, and how their individual challenges are transcended through art. Participating artists work independently or in studios supported by Community Living agencies across Metro Vancouver.

Every original piece of art featured tells a different story. Working with various forms of media, you’ll be sure to see artists’ paintings, collages, illustrations, photography, pottery, art cards, jewellery, glassware, textiles and more! This annual exhibition offers artists the chance to express their passion for art and share their talent with the community. Held during Community Inclusion month in BC, the INCLUSION Art Show is a springboard for connection and collaboration in the community. This event is open to the public and admission is by donation.
