Utility Furniture highlighted in Vancouver Magazines Eastside Culture Crawl listing

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

I am honored that Vancouver Magazine highlighted us in their event listing for the 2008 Eastside Culture Crawl:

http://www.vanmag.com/event/Eastside_Cultural_Crawl_2008

“Upward of 50 artist-filled buildings are part of this annual three-day gallery hop (which last year attracted 10,000 visitors). Be sure to start your crawl at 1000 Parker Street. A massive mall of Eastside artists, 1000 Parker houses the work spaces of painters Eve Leader and Luc Bernard, plus some fine furniture makers. Check out the clean woodwork at Derek Morton’s Utility Furniture.”

2008 Eastside Culture Crawl is fast approaching

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Please visit us and most of the other East Vancouver artists during the upcoming 2008 Eastside Culture Crawl.

If you haven’t been on the Crawl before, it is an incredible opportunity to view the studios and meet the artists that make East Vancouver so vibrant. Some of our favourite artists in 1000 Parker St. include: Doug Lane (furniture) who is directly across the hall from us on the 1st floor, Peter Rainier (furniture) on the 2nd floor, Arleigh Wood (painter) on the 3rd floor, and Dave Robinson (sculpture) who’s gallery is on the 4th floor. Outside of our building, Strathcona is really cool to walk around and my voyeuristic side really enjoys checking out the live/work studios at the Arc and Railtown Studios.

Come, it’ll do ya good!
