Positioned across from the Vancouver Art Gallery, it’s appropriate that Apple is leaning hard into a new, artful era. “This new store is a place where creative journeys begin,” explains the press release. To wit, Apple is offering a grand opening weekend designed to get that creative spark, uh, sparking: think live rap performances by Boslen, live dance by Emmy-winning choreographer Chloé Arnold, and Q&A with your boy George Stromboloupoulos.
Aspiring shutterbugs (or whatever we call people who lean hard into Portrait Mode these days) can take a photography tour of Vancouver architecture, while artists can enjoy free workshops and tutorials from Apple Creative Pros.
Register here for opening weekend events, or just wander on down to the corner of West Georgia and Howe to find inspiration from downtown’s newest mural—no Apple ID required.
