The 2021 Whyte Avenue Art Walk is moving indoors to the former Army & Navy building in Old Strathcona every weekend from June 11 to August 1.
People are invited to buy art directly from the artists. All artists, brave enough to share their work, are welcome to participate.
The Art Walk is a non-juried event that attracts professional artists, amateurs and students. Details
The Army & Navy’s former complex uniquely punctures through the city block, fronting both West Cordova Street and West Hastings Street.
The larger north parcel at 36 West Cordova Street, with a four-storey building, containing over 100,000 sq ft of total floor area, was first built in 1893. It still boasts a heritage brick frontage, spanning a considerable street frontage length of 245 ft (75 metres).
However, the south parcel, a 1913-built, five-storey building at 15 West Hastings Street with about 35,000 sq ft of total floor area, has lost all of its heritage value over the years due to decades-old retrofits that removed the original facades. Currently, this smaller building is leased to the municipal government and BC Housing for use as a temporary homeless shelter with a capacity for up to 60 people. The shelter opened this past spring as part of a broader strategy to end homeless encampments.
