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.

The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts is regarded as the premier entertainment facility in Vancouver. Located in the dynamic core of downtown Vancouver between Robson and West Georgia streets, it is two blocks from the Granville Sky train station and within steps of Robson Street, the world-renowned shopping promenade.

From the spiralling glass cone to the curvilinear marble staircase, The Centre is an architectural kaleidoscope. Internationally acclaimed architect, Moshe Safdie, created The Centre with the same contemporary vision used in its companion building Library Square. The building is flawlessly constructed and crafted with the highest quality technology, staging, acoustics, seating, fixtures and furnishings available. With white marble floors reflected endlessly by the faceted mirrored walls to the massive arched ceiling, The Centre is a sight to behold.

The Centre offers a broad range of uses from traditional to high-tech. The 81,000 square foot theatre design and configuration are optimal for the requirements of shows, productions, presentations, musical performances, corporate events and more.
