What is your dream ART PARTY like?
Mine would be a dance floor full of ever-changing colours and unique characters dancing around (cute monsters preferred).
At Seymour Art Gallery in Deep Cove, North Vancouver, they’re hosting their annual ART PARTY! from May 2 to May 10, 2025 — and it may not be exactly like my monster gathering kind of party, but with art and music altogether. The walls will be filled with colourful, creative, and one-of-a-kind pieces by over 70 local artists. All artworks are priced at $100, $200, or $300 — no bidding wars, just a chance to bring something home that speaks to you.

The Art Party kicks off with an opening night on Friday, May 2 at 5:00 PM. There’ll be a silent auction, snacks, and live music from Sam Chimes — one of those artists you might’ve heard before without even realizing it. He’s known for turning Vancouver’s street corners into music zones, layering live loops with jazzy beats and smooth hip-hop. Sounds like something that is gonna be vibing all night!
The gallery is right in the heart of Deep Cove — surrounded by trees, water, and the kind of local shops that make you want to slow down and look around. The space itself feels warm and welcoming, and it always gives you something new to discover. It’s the kind of place where you feel inspired while enjoying what you see.
ART PARTY! has popped up over the past few years, always with its great vibe. As far as I found the first one was In 2023 and in 2024 edition brought in a summer feel, and auction prizes from cool places like Grouse Mountain and the Vancouver Whitecaps. But it’s never the same twice — which is kind of the fun of it.
So if you’re looking for something different, something local, and something full of creativity — this is your party. Come hang out, meet some artists, enjoy the music, and maybe even leave with a little piece of the party.
