Posted on the ArcPost: Artists and Institution website, Origin Stories will identify each member centre and include significant archival images, original mandates, history of founding artists and other materials pertinent to the origins of Vancouver’s artist-run activity. Critical writing, online and print resources will also be included. This online site will celebrate the history of artist-run movements in the city and provide a resource for tracking the influence of these centres on Vancouver’s contemporary art practices. www.arcpost.ca

Vancouver Art Gallery’s WE: Vancouver exhibition and related programming will document the range of practices, actions and ideas by designers, artists, architects, filmmakers, writers, activists, and planners that shape and activate this city. The manifestos are based on twelve calls to action, twelve movements, strategies and practices that fundamentally shape Vancouver today: MOVE, ACTIVATE, CHOOSE, LISTEN, UNITE, REMEMBER, SEE, WASTE (not), CONSUME, PROJECT, SHAPE, SURPRISE). FUSE and other Gallery programming events will explore the many individual and collective ways in which Vancouverites creatively contribute to the City.
