This weekend, east Vancouver hosts The Drift on Main Street, an annual Art Festival and Open Studio Tour. The event is now in its 6th year and features an incredible amount of talent by local artists and small businesses nestled along Main Street. The event is organized as a sort of walking to tour. Whether you decide to make your way north or south, you’ll be sure to find an endless variety of artwork. Many shops have open studies, so there is ample opportunity to meet and mingle with artists and the community. Check the Drift website for more information, including a detailed walking map and info on daily activities and special events.
Opening Reception for The Drift is this Friday October 1st, at Creekside Community Centre (The new community Centre located on the Seawall in the Olympic Village)
