Protect affordable artist space and publish an inventory of it
TEAM would protect and expand affordable rehearsal and performance space, require one-for-one replacement of city-owned creative space, and publish an inventory of arts spaces on the city website.
CULTURE AND NIGHTLIFE
TEAM for a Livable Vancouver on culture
TEAM’s argument is that artists have left the city because affordable studio space and public venues, mostly in older buildings, have been lost.
Two of its commitments are unusually concrete for an arts platform: a one-for-one replacement and retention policy for city-owned creative space, and publishing an inventory of arts spaces on vancouver.ca.
