Hello everyone,
We are super excited to launch this year’s Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival from Oct. 11–13, 2024 at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre.
This year’s 56 participating artists were selected by a new, inclusive curatorial committee comprising past VOAF artists and respected community members. This approach is a shift from the previous lottery selection process, and reflects CACV’s commitment to uplifting underrepresented voices in Vancouver’s vibrant arts community.
VOAF will also feature three workshops: a sketching club with Ania Salmina, a photo walk with Cole Schmidt, and a cyanotypes workshop with Hazel Yuhang Zhang. In celebration of their 15th anniversary, SAD Mag will host a collage activity in the lounge area of the exhibition hall. This year also sees the continuation of the international partnership with the Outsider Arts Festival in Helsinki, with a showcase of artists from both festivals accessible online. Works by Erin Audley, Katalina Guerrero, Alex K. Masse, and Tim Varro will be featured on the Finnish festival’s online stage.
