CELEBRATING YOUNG ARTISTS

Arts Umbrella presents Expressions, an annual festival celebrating the boundless creativity of young minds — because young artists show us creativity at its brightest.

Expressions Festival brings inspired and cutting-edge dance performances, innovative and original theatre shows, and diverse art exhibitions to venues and stages across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Every discipline, every class, and virtually every Arts Umbrella Spring session student showcases work during Expressions. The festival allows young artists to take pride in their accomplishments, and share that pride with family, friends, and the public.

Support our young artists by visiting an exhibit or taking in a show by our theatre troupes at Waterfront Theatre or our dancers at the Vancouver Playhouse. No matter what you choose to see or do, Expressions will leave a lasting impression.
