Angela Fama
Love Letters to Turbulence
Angela Fama’s Love Letters to Turbulence is an exhibition that changes because of the people who encounter it.
This participatory durational project explores the lived experience of trauma through materials, making, reflection, and choice. There is no right way to participate. Write, draw, create, observe—or simply be present. Every response is valid.
Join us for the Public Closing Party

Emily Cowan
Signs of
Things to Come
The Vancouver we know is changing.
THIS Gallery is pleased to present Signs of Things to Come, a solo exhibition by Emily Cowan. Through exquisitely detailed acrylic gouache paintings, Cowan documents the houses that quietly disappear from our streets, exploring housing, memory, and what is lost as neighbourhoods transform.
Join us for the opening reception: Thursday, September 10, 6–8 pm
Exhibition continues through September 20.
Art Socials at THIS
Make art. Meet people. No pressure.
Join us for a relaxed, two-hour art-making session where the focus is on process, not perfection. Whether you come solo or with a friend, you’ll be part of a small group of folks making art side by side—no experience necessary.
Each session is lightly guided with a prompt or creative task to get you started, but there’s no formal instruction—just time, space, materials, and good company. Drinks and snacks are included.
$20 per person | 6 spots available per session | All materials provided | ages 10 years and up
Held at THIS Gallery, 108 E Broadway (alley), Vancouver
Come make something. Or just make a mess.
