Sessions are held at the Beaumont Studios, at 326 W. 5th Ave. in Vancouver V5Y 1H5 – a dynamic assemblage of creators, studios and gallery spaces. The location is convenient – just on the south side of the Cambie Bridge behind the police station/Canadian Tire. It’s a short walk from the Olympic Village Skytrain station. The space is large and comfortable (and air-conditioned!).
