Come join us at the Open Location opening reception at the Kingsway Arts Collective at Rize Mount Pleasant on November 10th from 7-10pm and see our very own Sophia Danai performing a musical set to accompany an amazing set of pictures by some of Vancouver’s most talented photographers.

OPEN LOCATION investigates those moments, people and places that exist on the periphery of our individual and collective consciousness. An exploration of liminal spaces, interstitial realities and transient states, this exhibit is a reclamation of the unnoticed and the forgotten, as seen from the diverse perspectives of some of Vancouver’s most talented emerging photographers.
