Artspeak is an artist-run centre. Located on Carrall Street, it straddles the borders of both Gastown and Chinatown. It was established in 1986 and is considered a charitable organization. The primary focus is in on visual art and publication, thus appealing to a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary arts. It’s a small space but ergonomic in design. With its floor-to-ceiling front window, Artspeak is anything but cramped. Clean, sparse, all attention is dedicated to showcase contemporary art.
