First Saturday Open Studios - visit our live-work studio at the infamous ARC and discover where the magic happens!

Each first Saturday of the month, lots of artists at the ARC open their studios for you to have a look-see. It’s free, no tickets or registration required. Everyone is welcome!

Explore our unique studios where we live and create, and catch a glimpse into the artists’ life. Watch the process unfold and get a sneak preview of the latest projects we are working on.

There is lots of art displayed along our hallways, making the ARC one of Vancouver’s largest art galleries, unofficially that is, and it’s worth going for a stroll through the building.

La Luce Cafe on the ground floor will cater to all your caffeination and refreshment needs, so you can bumble from studio to studio slurping a bevvy, and leaving a trail of cookie crumbs, to find your way back out by.

And if you can’t get enough of it, several studios open throughout the area, so you can make it a mini-culture crawl. Or even an art and brewery crawl, since we’re conveniently located in Vancouver’s fun and funky Yeast-Van! To see who else is open, visit FirstSaturday.ca.

Studio 403 can now be found in unit 205 on the second floor of the ARC, 1701 Powell Street - we look forward to seeing you!
