About Emerge Festival
Emerge Festival is our annual celebration of DTES Small Arts Grants recipients and represents an exciting initiative, first undertaken by Vancouver Foundation and Carnegie Community Centre fifteen years ago. The 2025 Group Art Exhibition, Performances, Readings, and Cultural Sharing highlight the work of a few talented artists who have their creative practice rooted in the Downtown Eastside [DTES]. This annual event is an opportunity to shine a light on DTES artists, their practices, and ideas.
In 2024-25, Vancouver Foundation funded over 100 artists and projects in the DTES for a total of $103,000.
