Hey everybody, guess what? The Vancouver Public Space Network turns 10 this year!
To mark the occasion we’re throwing a kick-ass party in one of downtown Vancouver’s most temporal public spaces – the Pendulum Gallery. You’re invited! Help us to celebrate a decade of placemaking, public space advocacy and urban shenanigans.
THEME: “Time and Place”
LOCATION: Pendulum Gallery, 885 W Georgia
TIME: 7:00-10:00pm.

Mark your calendars and plan to attend! Please sign up at Eventbrite, and share the event with your friends via our Facebook Event page.
Even more fun: The VPSN Time & Place party will also be the capstone event of Vancouver’s first #POPcrawl – a self-guided exploration of Vancouver public space, with a focus on new and emergent placemaking initiatives.
This free event will kick off at the #POPCrawl Launch from 5PM to 6:30PM at the 800 Block of Robson Street (south plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery) with food trucks and other activities at 6PM.
Grab a #POPCrawl Passport and venture out to discover downtown Vancouver’s public spaces like you’ve never seen them before. Once you’re done, head over to the Pendulum Gallery to join us the Time & Place party.
Note: Most #POPCrawl sites will be activated from 5-8PM. Refer to the online map for more details for each site.
