Surrounded by mountains and ocean, Vancouver is a nature-focused city. This attitude is reflected in the city’s museums too. Crawl inside a replica beaver lodge at a science museum, marvel at a blue whale skeleton at a natural history museum, or enjoy nature-inspired paintings at an art gallery. Soak up some nature in the heart of the city at these Vancouver area museums.

We’ve had quite a month full of fantastic local art! Earlier this month we were treated to the always excellent Eastside Culture Crawl and now, the Emily Carr Student Art Sale is on the horizon.

Granville Island – Vancouver’s food and craft hub and the home of the Granville Island Public Market – may be getting a major facelift in the near future.
A new report has just been released outlining possible changes coming to the island in 2016. That’s when Emily Carr University of Arts + Design – the island’s biggest tenant – leaves for its new home on nearby Great Northern Way.
Emily Carr’s departure leaves vacant two massive buildings in the heart of Granville Island along Johnston Street, totalling nearly 200,000 square feet of space, according to a detailed article in the Vancouver Sun by Daphne Bramham.
The new consultant’s report, commissioned by the island’s management group, proposes some sweeping changes for the existing space.

So you’ve heard that a vegan diet is supposed to be great for your body and the environment, but you still don’t know what it’s really all about?
A special free food tasting event at Emily Carr University, Wednesday, Jan. 22, aims to explain the vegan experience and offer some tasty samples and recipes. According to organizers, the goal is to demystify veganism, which is defined as abstaining from consuming or using products derived from animals.
The event is highlighted by a cooking demo from chef Preet Marwaha, who served as a VIP chef at the United Nations and also started Vancouver’s own OrganicLives, a line of raw organic food products. Marwaha, who suffered from a life-threatening illness before embracing a vegan lifestyle, will touch on the benefits of having a plant-based diet, then illustrate how to prepare vegan dishes, including quick, wholesome smoothies.
The event will also feature samples from two of Vancouver’s iconic vegan eateries, Eternal Abundance and Fairy Cakes. Continue reading:

The biggest name in B.C. art is back for a blockbuster show at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
More than 40 paintings from celebrated landscape painter Emily Carr will be on display at the gallery starting Dec. 21. The show, called Deep Forest, focuses on pieces Carr painted in the 1930s, most depicting scenes around her Victoria home.
Carr’s paintings are widely regarded as the most important representation of B.C.’s landscape in the early part of the 20th century. Her works show B.C.’s forests and coasts not as still, quiet places but as active, threatening and powerful environments. Native symbols and artifacts are present throughout Carr’s paintings, adding an additional layer of meaning and history.
Her work has only grown in renown as the years have passed. Continue reading:
