About Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad

Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad is a celebration of the contemporary imagination. A series of three multi-disciplinary festivals that grows in scope and scale from 2008 through 2010, this is the first time an Olympic Winter Games has hosted a Cultural Olympiad two years before Games time.

From artistic collaborations that fuse contrasting perspectives to emerging talents re-inventing the voice of contemporary Canada, the Cultural Olympiad has something for everyone. Working in close partnership with the creative community, this amazing showcase of Canadian and international arts and popular culture will feature an unparalleled variety of music, dance, theatre, visual arts, film, outdoor spectaculars and digital media experiences, as remarkable and diverse as the planet itself.

Hold 60 days of arts and popular culture events in your hands. Get your free copy of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad Program Guide while supplies last.

Arts Umbrella is Canada’s pre-eminent arts institute for young people, ages 2 to 19.

Participating in the arts brings our students joy and excitement. We also know that arts education can have a positive impact on academic acheivements and personal growth. At Arts Umbrella, we imagine a world where all children have access to these life-inspiring opportunities. So while thousands of children participate in our tuition-based programming on Granville Island each year, we reach thousands more in their neighbourhoods through free programs, bringing the arts to kids who otherwise would not be able to participate. We can only make this happen with the support of donors, sponors and community members who share our vision and contribute to the ongoing health of Arts Umbrella; they’re helping us reach our goal of "inspiring kids for life."
