A really nice gallery to browse, and they even have a photo booth that actually uses film! ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و💗💗
Great space to visit and buy local! love the art and culture. The photo booths are amazing!
Great community space for small artists to share their work and see so many varieties of art
The racist gallery owner interrupted my conversation with someone else to yell at me. I was looking forward to socializing during my friend's show, and approached someone viewing photos, asking if they knew where the water fountain was. The gallerist (who I saw once briefly as I entered the venue) marched towards us and scolded me loudly, "You're talking to a Black man in MY gallery, and he doesn't work here. I do. You should have asked ME." I looked at her, confused, and said, "I don't know who works here -" She cut me off, "he doesn't work here, and you're asking him questions b/c he's Black so you assumed he works here!" I didn't think the guest worked there or thought about his ethnicity at all. I was just being friendly. She looked really angry so I walked away towards the bar. She followed me. When I stood in line, she tried to pull me aside. Everyone was staring at us. The gallerist continued harassing me, "Let me take you to the side and tell you why I said that." I looked at her and said, "No, I don't know you, this is the first time I've met you, and I don't want to go anywhere with you." She wouldn't leave me alone and I had to repeat the words "No, I don't want to talk to you or go anywhere with you” several times, worried about my safety. She kept cutting me off when I was speaking. Thankfully, another guest spoke with me so the gallery owner stomped away. I was shook. As a queer POC artist, I don't understand why venues like 648 Kingsway have to close but places like Slice get to buy up more space and keep expanding just because they’re run by cis white folks. Vancouver, do better. The guest who reassured me was visiting from NYC and BIPOC. It was her first and last time visiting this "fake" place (there was a neon sign on the wall that said "fake vibes only"); she agreed that the gallerist's vibes were extremely off and it was a scary situation to experience as a guest at this venue. After some reflection, I realized the gallerist projected her own racist values onto me and policed me as an act of white saviourism. When I tipped the bartender, they were apologetic, even though I told them it's not their fault. I've worked for power-tripping losers and racist girlbosses before. I will never come back to this venue. Edit: the actual gallery owner corrected me saying it’s a staff member who did this and dismissed my experience in their response. I read some other people’s reviews, seems like I’m not the only one who’s experienced discrimination as a POC.
A place that teenagers like a lot.
