Vancouver has plenty going for it, but culturally enriching good times can sometimes be prohibitively expensive. Not so on Tuesday nights at the Vancouver Art Gallery. From 5pm until 9pm, entrance is by donation, which is to say it’s pretty damn accessible, even “free” if you interpret “by donation” in the same way we sometimes do.
