The GOODS from The Chinatown Experiment

Vancouver, BC | The Chinatown Experiment exists to provide creatives the space to test and play with their ideas. We remove the barriers to entry for businesses and artists by providing affordable space, flexible rental durations and turnkey logistics. From promotional support to equipment rentals we got customizable solutions for you to save you money and time. This frees you up to focus on the most important part….your idea. Since our inception in September 2012, we have played host to many retail pop ups, art shows, food events and creative gatherings. Typical uses include retail shops, art exhibits, cafes, workshops, product launches, photo shoots, movie screenings, networking events, creative talks, and community events. Are you an artist looking to showcase your work? A designer launching a brand? or an online boutique looking to meet your customers face to face? We want to invite you to try an experiment. Contact us here. What is a pop up shop? Pop up shops are temporary retail spaces. They are an excellent tool to build brand awareness and allow businesses to connect with customers to tell their story. They foster local entrepreneurship and encourage people to support local goods and services. The Chinatown Experiment is a perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to test out their ideas.
