Woodwards Goldcorp Centre
Woodwards Goldcorp Centre for the Arts is a 11,148 square-meter, multi-venue arts and culture space. Housing five public venues, it includes a state-of-the-art 350 seat cinema, a unique theatre which can accommodate flexible staging configurations, a small concert hall, and two smaller black box theatres.

Harbour Centre
Located in Vancouver’s historic Spencer building in the city’s Heritage District, the building underwent a remarkable conversion into a sophisticated urban educational centre. Floors that once displayed women’s fashions and sporting equipment were transformed to become multipurpose theatres and inviting classrooms.

Vancouver
Set within a palette of mountains, green forests, and sandy beaches, Vancouver is, as the brochures say, “spectacular by nature.” Always listed as one of the world’s most liveable cities, Vancouver has it all: world class restaurants, shopping for every taste, and a remarkable array of outdoor recreational activities. Our venue for LAK17 is the city center, adjacent to vibrant Coal Harbor, Gastown and the West End neighborhoods.
