2023 The Lantern City Location - VAG

We are Family

Our Wonderland

Jan. 20th to Feb. 7th
Free Program

Vancouver is a beautifully diverse city filled with many stories to tell. The artworks on display in the We Are Family location of The Lantern City are informed by the artists’ childhoods and coloured with their cultures. These lanterns remind us to hold onto our curiosity like Alice, and wander into our wonderlands to learn about each other, together. Where will the rabbits lead you?
