Vancouver Special is pleased to support the BRIGHT LIGHT public art project, in conjunction with the 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

We are selling limited edition umbrellas for $20, with all proceeds going towards the event. The umbrellas feature a map of Chinatown and the DTES  in black+white figure-ground, with the various venues and events pinpointed in red. They pop-open for easy use, and are a very cool souvenir for art-y and design-y out of town visitors!

There are also some great events happening at the Candahar Bar and the LIGHT BAR over the next couple weeks.

Check out local synth-pop band “Christine” on Friday night at 11 pm!
