SUMMARY:Eastside Culture Crawl 30th Anniversary Preview Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate 30 years of the Eastside Culture Crawl at the 2026 Preview Exhibition\, P.A.R.T.Y. – Pushing Art diRectly To You\, from November 5–28\, 2026 at the Eastside Arts Society (716 E. Hastings St). For the first time\, 75 juried artists come together under one roof at the Society’s own space\, which serves as the central hub for the Crawl’s 30th anniversary celebrations. Since its beginnings in the mid-2000s\, the Preview Exhibition has offered a sneak peek at the range of art on display throughout the Crawl. This year’s edition returns to its single-venue roots\, guided by a selection panel of Crawl artists including Eri Ishii\, Hugh Kearney\, and Paul de Guzman. The title carries more than one meaning\, as a nod to the anniversary party\, and a reflection of the Crawl’s founding ethos: artists opening their own doors to the public and building a direct relationship between artist and audience. This retrospective exhibition highlights bold\, original works that embody endurance of practice\, place\, and vision. Full details at culturecrawl.ca/events.

SUMMARY:Belle Spirale Dance Projects and Vancouver Chamber Choir present The Little Match Girl
DESCRIPTION:Belle Spirale Dance Projects and Vancouver Chamber Choir\, in partnership with Covenant House Vancouver\, present The Little Match Girl at the Vancouver Playhouse on November 13 and 14\, 2026.

Suitable for ages 12 and up. Educational tables in the lobby will connect audiences with Covenant House’s life-changing front-line work supporting youth experiencing homelessness.
