The exhibition is supported by the Strathcona Business Improvement Association (SBIA). Through this collaboration, Kwan and Lee hope to bridge local artists with Strathcona businesses to foster a culture of belonging and community support.
Participating businesses include: Gallery 881, Printmaker Studio, Sunrise Soya Foods, Sunrise Market, Coolite Bamboo Products, CINCO Drink Co, Allegra – Vancouver, and Alterior/A Living Taste. The process of creating the series of artworks was deeply collaborative and made possible by the contributions of Jacky Huang, Hwahyoo Joh, Rachel Kwan, Ciara Kosai, Sabrina Wong, James Jin, Jason Chu, Long Xi Vlessing, and Xin.
“Where I’m From” runs from February 10th to March 9th, 2024. Admission to the gallery exhibition is free and open from 10am-5pm Tuesday to Friday, from 12pm-5pm on Saturdays. Gallery 881 is also part of the Vancouver Art Walk in the Vancouver Arts District of Chinatown and Strathcona.
