A week-long, fundraising event, Return to Creative was aimed at re-engaging one’s artistic creativity, while cultivating the arts community in Vancouver, particularly after the recent funding cuts. It was hosted by Raw Canvas, between June 18 – 25, and concluded in a silent auction.
Each participant contributed $15, which provided them with an 8×8 canvas, along with some other goodies. Their final pieces were integrated into a mural with the themes community impact and cultural heritage. Other artists also donated work for the silent auction and the proceeds were donated to the Broadway Youth Resource Centre.
Check out our visit to Raw Canvas on June 24, a night hosted by Cloudscape. Tons of fun with painting, music and comedy, in a packed venue.

Well hello there reader,
Have YOU seen The Lab Magazine yet? If not, then you’d better hurry up and get familiar with all 99 pages of it. Tons of great content for the soul, the spleen, the mind, and yes, the eyes. Flip, read, obsess. It’s all there. Following the plentiful Issues 00 and 01, Issue 02 is now out online and in stores.
Rashida Jones, Nicolas Stroller, Florence + The Machine and lots more goodies, waiting in there for your gentle gaze and occasionally trembling hands. Don’t leave them hanging!

Creative, is putting it mildly.
After months of work, street artist BLU releases a new wall-painted (among other things) stop-motion animation video:
BIG BANG BIG BOOM is an unscientific point of view on the beginning and evolution of life … and how it could probably end.
Would’ve loved to have randomly passed by one of these scenes in the making!
