SUMMARY:Pippin the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of ‘spectacle and unease’ with Play On Words Productions’ gritty reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’ Pippin\, February 26th-March 7th at the Jericho Arts Centre \nSet inside a decaying nightclub suspended between life and death\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s search for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of battle\, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. Dark\, raw\, and reckless\, this production is a haunting exploration of purpose and desire\, leaving the audience to wonder: would they choose the fire\, or walk away? \nCONTENT ADVISORY: This show includes mature themes\, sexual suggestion\, dramatized violence\, and sensory elements (lighting and sound). We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Greg Girard
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents the first major institutional survey of Greg Girard\, one of Canada’s most influential contemporary photographers\, from July 10–Oct. 25\, 2026. The exhibition presents more than 160 photographs spanning the past half century\, including never-before-seen outtakes from his iconic photobooks\, and traces his evolution as an artist. The show unfolds chronologically beginning with some of the earliest images Girard took as a teenager in 1970s Vancouver. The exhibition then follows his footsteps as he traveled down the West Coast and beyond\, landing as a freelance journalist in Asia and contributing to publications like Time Magazine where he was oftentimes at the front line of civil unrest and conflict. Followers of Girard’s work will recognize images from the now-demolished Kowloon Walled City and Shanghai — and will discover that in addition to his urban landscapes\, he has a mastery of portraiture. The exhibition provides a sense of how he moved through the world\, and ends on his most recent photographs as he revisits the subject of the Lower Mainland\, with shots of North Vancouver and Surrey included. The exhibition will open simultaneously as the launch of his new publication Greg Girard – Photographs 1972–2026. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group. \n101 Carrie Cates Court\, North Vancouver\, V7M 3J4\nGallery hours Wednesday\, 10am–5pm; Thursday\, 10am–9pm; Friday–Sunday\,\n10am–5pm \nImage: Greg Girard\, Camaro in Alley\, 1981

SUMMARY:LOVE IS LOVE | George Littlechild
DESCRIPTION:Ashdale Gallery presents Love is Love\, an exhibition celebrating the extraordinary multi-decade career and visionary practice of Two-Spirit Plains Cree artist George Littlechild. \nLove is Love offers a powerful window into a lifetime dedicated to reclamation\, storytelling\, and visual resistance. A Sixties Scoop survivor who painstakingly scoured national archives to reclaim his roots. \nThis personal journey fuels his globally celebrated mixed-media practice. Exhibited internationally\, published as an award-winning author\, and recognized with multiple honorary doctorates\, Littlechild stands as an iconic figure at the pinnacle of his practice. \nArtist Statement\nThis exhibition marks a new chapter in my practice—a period of experimentation\, movement\, and renewed freedom. Moving away from relying primarily on acrylics\, I have embraced mixed media\, with crayons becoming an increasingly central element of my process. Crayons bring an immediacy and physicality to the surface that encourages spontaneity\, visible gesture\, and play. \n“I think of this body of work as an act of ‘jumping into a new chapter’ and\, at the same time\, ‘coming into one’s own identity.’ Identity is not fixed—it continues to unfold through experience\, memory\, place\, time\, and change.”\n– GEORGE LITTLECHILD \nRSVP for OCTOBER 17th \nArtist Talk 5pm\nOpening Reception 6-8pm

SUMMARY:Palace
DESCRIPTION:Palace have been making music together for over a decade. What started out as carefree jam sessions between Leo Wyndham\, Rupert Turner and Matt Hodges in an airless studio in North London established a DIY ethos that remains intrinsic to the spirit of the band to this day. \nIn early 2025\, Palace took a career leap releasing the Greyhound EP on their own label\, Palace Presents – a collective they’d started in 2016 as a monthly night at The George Tavern in East London\, which had quietly grown into something more intentional. A positive and protected space as Leo described it\, away from the usual constraints of the music industry. \n“Kid” was released in April 2026\, together with the announcement of a 30-date tour of the USA and Canada in the Fall of 2026\, culminating in a show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. \n“Kid is about longing for a child an ocean away. It’s the ache we feel for our people when we’re separated from them. It doesn’t feel like a sadness or heaviness\, but more an affirmation of that love\, a primal release sung into the sunset as the road flies by.” \nJoin us for Palace’s Chan Centre debut and experience their immersive sound brought to life on our stage.

SUMMARY:Julian Lage Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation and “one of the highest category of improvising musicians\,” (The New Yorker) Julian Lage has spent decades exploring the many strains of American music with boundless curiosity and technical mastery. With roots tangled up in jazz\, folk\, classical\, and country music\, Lage brings what The New York Times calls “a disarming spirit of generosity” to his playing\, approaching tradition as an open field for invention. \nA lifelong musician\, Lage emerged early as a singular talent. He learned the guitar at age five and was already playing onstage with Carlos Santana at eight. That same year\, he was the subject of the short documentary Jules at Eight\, showcasing his prodigious talents\, performed for the Grammy Awards as a preteen\, and later joined Gary Burton’s quartet at just 16. Rather than resting on early acclaim\, Lage has continually evolved\, recording widely as a leader and collaborating with artists including John Zorn\, Fred Hersch\, Nels Cline\, and Chris Eldridge. \nFor this concert\, he performs music from his newest album Scenes from Above\, with bassist Jorge Roeder\, drummer Kenny Wollesen\, and renowned keyboardist John Medeski. Though conceptualized by Lage\, Scenes from Above is not about him as bandleader. Instead\, he is firmly rooted as a band member within the quartet\, resulting in nine tracks that frame a brilliantly open experience. The four dazzling players give and take space in equal measure as they explore these songs in one space\, in real time. \nWitness the genius of Julian Lage live in Vancouver for an unforgettable experience. \nThis event is co-presented with Infidels Jazz as part of the VANJAZZ ’26 Jazz Festival
