This is not an official meetup event - but I am going to be at my friend Alex's studio for part of the SWARM art event. The event runs from 7pm until late, and all around China town area. I will be at the Remington Gallery at around 9:30pm. What is SWARM?
SWARM is a 2-night event that marks the launch of Vancouver’s artist-run centre (ARC) programming season with exhibition openings, performances, screenings and special events. Artist-run Centres (ARCs) are collectives and non-profit organizations, run by artists, supporting new and innovative practices in the arts. With a rich history that spans over forty years, ARCs have had a significant impact on the cultural ecology in Canada and around the world.

All SWARM events are free and open to the public.
