roundhouse vision & missionin September of 1996 the Roundhouse Advisory Committee, composed of neighbourhood repre-sentatives, heritage supporters, members of the arts community and Park Board staff, undertook a retreat to work through a vision for the Roundhouse. The following is the result of those discussions:

The overall mission is to celebrate diversity...of people, values, ideas and activities.This mission is made up of three key elements:

the roundhouse as ProJectAll of us who work or play or socialize at the Roundhouse will be active participants in an evolving project to find new and creative ways to integrate the arts, community, culture and sports.

the roundhouse as oasisThe Roundhouse is located in the centre of one of the largest urban experiments in history, trans-forming a few hundred acres of mostly vacant lots into one of north America’s densest and most diverse urban sites. The Roundhouse will be an oasis in the centre of this dynamic mix, enabling people to use their creativity and energy (at whatever level) to rejuvenate themselves and to be better equipped to face a blizzard of challenges and opportunities around them.

the roundhouse as connectionThe Roundhouse exists to identify and serve the needs of widely divergent communities. To do this the Roundhouse must reach out to the places and situations where those communities feel comfortable. These relationships will grow into Roundhouse programs through sponsorships, part-nerships, and our own productions.

The Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre is jointly operated by the Vancouver Board of Parks & Recreation and the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Society.

The Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre is a unique community cen-tre. not only are we situated in a beautiful piece of Vancouver's history, but also we are part of a city-wide initiative to promote arts and culture. The means we serve the local community and the city as a whole. This is a very important time for the Roundhouse, as we are presently in negotiations with the Park Board to rewrite our Joint Operating Agreement, which will determine how we continue to operate as a centre. This sum-mer we signed an interim agreement with the Park Board that reflects our previously stated and original position of making all community centres more equitable and accessible. As a result, OneCard and the Leisure Access Card are now accepted at the Roundhouse.Winter is a season of celebrated arts festivals at the Roundhouse. We welcome back the PuSh international Performing Arts Festival, the Talking Stick Festival, and the Van-couver international Dance Festival. From theatre and performance art to First nations culture and contemporary dance, these three festivals bring stellar arts events of local, national and international significance to the Roundhouse and underline the important role our rich arts partnerships play in the cultural life of the city.To celebrate the Year of the horse the Roundhouse will be having a Chinese lunch on February 5, 2014. The Roundhouse is excited to launch a new initiative for those who love to draw and paint and want to do it more often. The Guided Open Art Studio is a drop-in drawing and painting studio on Sundays 2:30-4:30pm led by professional artist ian Forbes. Refine your skills, explore new ideas, or work on your own projects. We even throw in basic drawing and painting materials, if you need them.i want to thank our volunteers. Volunteering is a fun way to participate and set an example of constructive contribution to your community. Giving your talent and ener-gy to your community is the tenet of Canadian society and the opportunity is yours for the asking. if you or your friends are interested, please contact the Roundhouse and you will be directed to our Volunteer Coordinator.

event highlights

WindoW is...

…our neW gallery sPace at the roundhouse!have you noticed the transformation of the glass case on the wall by the main entrance at Pacific Street? Beginning in fall 2013, selected artists installed their work into WinDOW for the public to enjoy, question and ponder. WinDOW has exhibited a large scale drawing, a collection of personal Vancouver memorabilia, and musical instruments (horns) made out of environmental materials (elderberry plants). in October we did a public call for artist proposals with the aim to schedule a series of installations from Jan-Dec 2014. Look for the upcoming artworks in WinDOW from the following artists:Jan-feb: Jamie smithi am a Vancouver-based artist, with degrees in Fine Arts and Art Education. i have traveled around the world and shown my work in group exhibitions in Amsterdam and Dubai. My art project for WinDOW is called "confessions" a painting series inspired by anonymous confessions collected over the past year. mar-aPr: Willa doWningPassionate about art and science, Willa Downing has a diploma in painting from ECCAD (now ECUAD) and a PhD in molecular biology from UBC. She has taught at ECUAD and SFU. She works out of her studio in South Surrey and has exhibited in Metro Vancouver and Victoria. her recent artwork is focused on complex systems.may-June: Jennie Johnston – life linesJennie grew up in rural Quebec and has a Fine Arts Degree from Mount Allison Uni-versity in Sackville, new Brunswick. her work combines traditional craft techniques like embroidery and quilting with painting and fabric design. She is inspired by nature, her family, social issues and how we as humans interact with the mysteries and beauty of life on this planet. Jul-aug: david Jaffei'm an old man now who started drawing and then painting at the age of 40. Born in Oxford, England in 1942, then emigrated with my family to Montreal in 1953. Edu-cated at McGill University, Langara Community College and UBC. My art is influenced by Canadian realists, British watercolourists and Californian impressionists. Also, i love the paintings of Rene Magritte and Piet Mondrian.sePt-oct: Pierre leichner – mining booksi have transitioned from a 30-year career as an academic psychiatrist to that of an artist, and become aware of many of the similarities between science and art–the pursuit of meaning. however, whereas science claims to use mostly objective and quantitative methods, art uses more qualitative and abstract means. This is reflected in most of my works in that they address biological, psychological, social/cultural, political and spiritual issues simultaneously. nov-dec: trish shWart Trish uses a combination of photographs and drawings to create alternative worlds that feel both real and imagined. her work often uses story fragments to represent the passing of time. Trish is a Pacific northwest artist who lives with the hope that one day she will hold a headstand for a full minute.

WinDOW is a Roundhouse exhibition space for artists who wish to explore the links between community and creativity in their work. Exhibiting artists are asked to consider the context and setting of this window in the work that they propose. This project asks them to explore ideas around ‘looking in’ with artwork that both connects and questions community and gallery space.
