HOURS OF OPERATION

ROUNDHOUSE VISION & MISSION

In September of 1996 the Roundhouse Advisory Committee, composed of neighbourhood representatives, heritage supporters, members of the arts community and Park Board staff, undertook a retreat to work through a vision for the Roundhouse. The following is the result of those discussions: The overall mission is to celebrate diversity... of people, values, ideas and activities.

This mission is made up of three key elements:

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS PROJECT

All of us who work or play or socialize at the Roundhouse will be active participants in an evolving project to find new and creative ways to integrate the arts, community, culture and sports.

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS OASIS

The Roundhouse is located in the centre of one of the largest urban experiments in history, transforming a few hundred acres of mostly vacant lots into one of North America’s densest and most diverse urban sites. The Roundhouse will be an oasis in the centre of this dynamic mix, enabling people to use their creativity and energy (at whatever level) to rejuvenate themselves and to be better equipped to face a blizzard of challenges and opportunities around them.

THE ROUNDHOUSE AS CONNECTION

The Roundhouse exists to identify and serve the needs of widely divergent communities. To do this the Roundhouse must reach out to the places and situations where those communities feel comfortable. These relationships will grow into Roundhouse programs through sponsorships, partnerships, and our own productions.

Mon - Fri 9am-10pm Sat & Sun 9am-5pm Our front office is closed 30 minutes prior to build- WHERE WE ARE The Roundhouse is located at the corner of Davie & Pacific • The Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line ing closure.

ROUNDHOUSE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE SOCIETY The Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre is unique as a community centre. Not only

Craig standing on the Roundhouse Turntable Plaza outside the Exhibition Hall.

are we situated in a beautiful piece of Vancouver's history, but we are part of a city-wide initiative to promote arts and culture. This means we serve not only the local community, but the city as a whole. We are proud to have been voted as the Best Community Centre for a fourth year in the Georgia Straight's Best of Vancouver.

Celebrate the 128th anniversary of CPR Engine 374’s arrival in Vancouver. Watch her steam up and hear the whistle blow on the Turntable Plaza while you enjoy free birthday cake and more.

The Express Your Voice Choir (part of the Arts and Health Project) is embarking on its final year.

They will conclude this year by recording songs they have created since 2011 and will perform them on June 3 during Seniors Week 2015. Many congratulations to our choir master DB Boyko, all choir members, the Arts and Health team, and programmers Marie Lopes and Diana VanderVeen for their joint efforts. Be sure to pick up the CD. This season we will be hosting our first Art Mart—an outside art demonstration and market showcasing a variety of local artists. The Art Mart will be held July 4 on the Turntable Plaza. Each artist will be present to demonstrate how they create their product, answer your questions, and sell their hand-crafted items.

On August 23, come to David Lam Park for the Roundhouse Picnic in the Park and Outdoor Movie Night. Shake out your picnic blanket and celebrate the summer with us. Free music, BBQ, and much more.

I want to thank our volunteers. Volunteers do everything from staffing our 400+ special events, to teaching Tai Chi classes, to blogging about our community engagement, to running the Engine Pavilion and everything in between. Volunteering is a fun way to participate and set an example of constructive contribution to your community. If you or your friends are interested in volunteering or even becoming a member of our Board of Directors, please give us a call.

Craig Giles President, Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Society

EXHIBITION RECEPTION

Tue Aug 25 Art should be accessible to everyone. That is the spirit behind Papergirl, the pedal-powered project that combines art, philanthropy and bikes. Papergirl is an international art movement that started as a redefinition of street art, bringing together artists of all levels, ages and backgrounds from all over the globe. Papergirl is driven by volunteers and brings out the spirit of giving and sharing for everyone involved.

All art collected will be exhibited at the Roundhouse. Papergirl volunteer cyclists will then set out across the city along a secret route to deliver all the works directly into the hands of unsuspecting members of the public. It’s the art of giving art.

Visit our website www.papergirlvancouver.com to learn more about the project, upcoming workshops and events, and how you can get involved.
