Community Artist Spaces

The Narrow Group is dedicated to promoting the vibrancy and creativity of the neighbourhoods its businesses are in. We do this by creating dedicated studios spaces throughout East Vancouver where artistically minded people can do creative work in dynamic, active arts environments. We aim to have an encouraging role in the the greater arts community.

Our Studio Features

Our communal artist studios are locked off and secure from the general public, but not locked entirely off from other artists. This provides opportunities for the sharing of ideas, a sense of community and the opportunity to work together cooperatively. Our studios are accessible to 24/7, have wifi, and are in thriving, accessible locations.
