Swarm 8: Saturday

By only

Saturday September 8, 2007

SWARM is Vancouver’s annual gallery-hop, art party and one of those amazing events that keeps us from skipping town for good. Since there are so many artist-run centers and galleries with so many artists showing, we could never even come close to covering it all. So this year we sent email to all the galleries asking for a brief explanation on what they are showing. Here’s what we got:

Intersections Digital Studios (IDS) (at the Emily Carr Institute – North Building, Granville Island)

ArtCamp07: Re:Use
