Vancouver Art
Artistrun
Artistrun as a website was co-founded by Dr. Lycia Trouton, an international public artist and Liza Lee, a writer and artist in 2000 to join up local businesses and artists for exhibitions and cross-promotions in Vancouver. They met at the SEARCH Program at the Alliance for Arts, Vancouver. The SEARCH Program has connected nearly 2000 Vancouver arts and cultural participants. Currently, Artistrun is an online advertising co-operative and in the 10th year of making an online arts community visible and successful for Vancouver 2010.
The Artistrun website is the distribution vehicle of the ArtConverge magazine launched in 2008. We are proposing a special ArtConverge Issue 5: News commentaries on the 2010 Cultural Olympiad events for Vancouver arts during the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Coverage will include Vancouver arts and cultural activities along the vibrant hub of Main Street to the Downtown Eastside.
The Cultural Olympiad 2010 will offer 60 days of exceptional programming, from January 22, 2010 through March 21, 2010 for Vancouver arts. Running before and throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, this extraordinary celebration will showcase more than 400 free and 350 ticketed performances and exhibitions: spanning Aboriginal, classical and contemporary music, theatre, dance, film, literary, visual arts, outdoor spectaculars and digital media programs.
