The Asher Theatre and Conference Center

Art and Culture in Vancouver

"If you can, try and catch a concert, dance, or performance art downtown. Three of Vancouver’s biggest live venues also happen to be exquisitely preserved Art Deco buildings worth visiting for their own aesthetic merits. The Orpheum is home to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, but also hosts top bands year-round. The Commodore Ballroom books everything from electronic to metal. True to its name, the Commodore Ballroom has a big wooden dance floor. The Vogue Theatre also has a diverse lineup.In 2018, residents poured out their hearts and pocketbooks to save the historic Rio Theatre near Commercial Drive. The Rio shows art films and cult classics." - MATADOR_NETWORK
