About

What Lab is an East Vancouver organization that supports artists and art-curious communities by providing a safer place to risk failure in creating, deepening, and sharing their artistic passions.

What Lab stands as an artistic incubator by embracing newness and the fragility it takes to germinate the seed of an idea.

We are committed to offering supportive systems of care, generating opportunities of growth for multiple arts communities including but not limited to dance, theatre, music, sound art, performance art, writing, and craft artisans.

We celebrate intersectional identities in the creators we support, including but not limited to cultures, races, queer and trans lived experiences, and physical abilities.
