A Little Bit About Us
Venue Co-op YVR is a non-profit community service co-operative uniting artists, organizers, and music-lovers across Vancouver's DIY music, arts and culture scene under the shared vision of creating resilient community owned infrastructure including physical, digital, and social third spaces.
