Event Space

The Arts Factory has a 1400 s/f event space for rent.

The Arts Factory’s Grand Hallway is a 1400 square foot area with a concrete floor, white walls, bathroom, kitchen and adjustable gallery lighting. It’s a wheelchair accessible space with double-loading doors that open onto Industrial Ave.

The Grand Hallway is available to rent for events with a capacity of 100 people or fewer. Event rentals are scheduled Monday and Friday between 4 pm – 12 am, and Saturday and Sunday between 9AM – 12AM (or later upon request).

The Arts Factory is home to working artists and they have access 24/7. Depending on the time of your rental, artists may need to access the shared areas. There must be a Venue Manager onsite during events for general security and safety. Because of our zoning (Light Industrial), if your event will include more than 30 people, you must apply for and obtain an Arts Events License from the City of Vancouver. The cost for this license is about $150.

All events that plan on serving liquor need to obtain a Special Event Permit from the BC Liquor Distribution Branch and submit a copy to the Arts Factory. Renters are responsible for providing security staff to work the door. At the end of your rental, any walls altered for the hanging of art must be returned to their original condition. Any clean up or repairs required will be billed to the renter.
