The FallforStrathcona exhibitionin partnership with the Strathcona BIAcelebrates the distinctive character and beauty of Vancouver’s Strathcona neighborhood, a community rich in history, diversity, and artistic expression. This exhibition showcases the top 11 images from the open call, capturing moments that highlight the neighbourhood’s unique blend of industrial and urban.
Through the lenses of local photographers, we are invited to explore Strathcona’s vibrant streets, architecture, people, quiet alleys, and dynamic urban landscapes. Each photograph offers a personal interpretation of what makes Strathcona special through the artist’s lens.
This exhibition not only shines a spotlight on the talent within our community but also serves as a visual love letter to Strathcona itself—its people, its history, and its evolving story. We hope these images spark a deeper connection to the neighbourhood and inspire others to see it through new perspectives. Join us as we celebrate the creativity, spirit, and beauty of Strathcona.
