The Granville Island Project Spaces provide unique opportunities that are lacking within the conventional production/presentation paradigm within the visual arts & print media. Artists are invited to book the Project Spaces at an affordable rate for a variety of purposes that may support the practice and production of their work. 
 
We encourage artists to book the Project Spaces to test the performance and/or marketability of their work within an experimental learning environment. Test audiences might consist of art collectors, critics, curators, dealers, colleagues, institutions, or the general public. The Project Spaces may accommodate displays, documentations, photoshoots, recordings, critiques, markets, openings, celebrations, performances, rehearsals, gatherings, and/or other small temporary events pertaining to the visual arts & print media.

Participating artists have access to a fully functioning kitchen for openings, if they choose, which includes a fridge, oven, and microwave. Omnichannel art sales opportunities, through our consignment program, may also be available as an accompanying feature for your project.

We invite all artists to participate in the Project Spaces especially artists from equity seeking or equity deserving communities, including but not limited to: applications from women, visible minorities, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, persons of diverse sexual orientation, gender identity or expression (LGBTQ2S+), and others who may contribute to the diversity of the program.

Project Space Dimensions
The Project Spaces consist of three white cubes, each measuring 8 feet x 9 feet with a 9.5 foot ceiling height. The cubes can be booked individually or together depending on the artist's project requirements.
