Vancouver Art Gallery’s ‘MashUp’ Exhibition Set For Big Night Of Deliciousness

VAGMashupCollab_08B-(1)

As if heading down to checkout MashUp at the VAG wasn’t a good enough idea on its own, some key players in what I deem the “without a doubt worth your while” scene are bringing you a collaborative MashUp experience you’d be silly to miss. The good people at Here There Studio – whose events never disappoint – have teamed up with Acorn chefs Rob Clarke and Brian Luptak, Latab chef Kris Barnholden, and the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Young Associates for a one-night-only affair on Friday, April 22nd.

With a guided tour of the first floor’s “Digital Age” (a space to create your own Picasso inspired collage) and what is bound to be an insanely mouth-watering four course food experience, we couldn’t really ask for a cooler event blending art and food. Picture yourself grooving your way around the gallery, stuffing your face with delectable goods, and interacting with your fellow Dionysians! Grab your tickets now before they sell out!

7pm | Fri, Apr. 22 | VAG | 250 Hornby St. | $25 for Young Associate Members, $52 for non-members | Tickets
