Best of Vancouver: Arts for Kids Voting
Earlier this month, we asked you to nominate your favourite arts for kids spots in Vancouver. You told us where you take your kids to nurture their creative spirits through dance, music, theatre, visual arts and more. We’ve compiled a list of 30 arts centres, music and dance schools, studios and galleries, and theatre companies across Metro Vancouver. Now we’re asking you to vote for your favourite, because only one can earn the Best of Vancouver title.

Collage Collage always has the best books and art supplies! My 4 year old has done the March Break and summer camps and the art she brings home is amazing. I love the way they incorporate a story for inspiration.
Inspiring kids for life through the arts!
Collage Collage for us too!!!! Great books, educational stories, structure, art and so much more!
We love having our kids taught by practicing artists at Arts Umbrella – and the huge variety of classes available there. (Not to mention that it tends to be the highlight of our kids’ week.) Impressive!
Place des Arts – so loved by my kids…so as I!
Love 4 Cats! We even go to them when travelling outside Vancouver.
Though the Capital Hill one is our favourite!
4cats art studio is the best! My kids have learned so much there and its so much fun!
My kids absolutely love The Arts Connection! Amazing teachers and just a great community to be part of.
What an amazing, generous school and arts community. The new facility is awesome.
4Cats! I undervalued the art I received from them – that is until our fire alarm woke us up one night. Along with the hard drive (pics) and our passports, the kids self portraits were the only only items I found I could not live without. Big as they were I tucked them under my arm as we made our exit! I am continually astounded by Racheal (Main St) and her ability to bring out the masterpieces buried deep within my rambunctious 3 year old boy!
