The Broadway Youth Resource Centre:
Youth Art & Media Gallery
The Broadway Youth Resource Centre (BYRC) Youth Art & Media Gallery started as a GetOut! Community Partnership Grant project in 2005. Through the tireless work of the staff and youth at BYRC, it grew into a multi-dimensional partnership with Leave Out the Violence, the Arts Umbrella and Brenda Carr Studio.
Youth led the design of the gallery spaces, helped with the renovations, worked with artist mentors to create incredibly moving and expressive pieces. The BYRC Youth Art & Media Gallery is the first youth-curated gallery in Vancouver. It will also be a place for ongoing art, performance and media workshops for Vancouver youth.
