HISTORY
In early 2006, five emerging artists, curators and art historians were invited by Justin Muir to form an organization that would present contemporary art projects throughout various spaces in Vancouver.
By programming a spectrum of events and exhibitions, their intention was to facilitate an engagement between contemporary artists and a diverse audience – local and national – and secure a more prominent place for art in the everyday.
Balcone was incorporated under the Province of British Columbia’s Society Act on August 18, 2006 and was registered as a charity with the Canada Revenue Agency on December 1, 2009.
