VPS is excited to announce its new home at UBC Robson Square, the downtown campus of the University of British Columbia. Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, the site sits adjacent to the Vancouver Art Gallery, Pacific Centre, and a vibrant array of dining options.

Designed by Arthur Erickson, one of Canada’s most influential architects, this 55,000-square-foot subterranean complex offers a unique oasis within the bustling downtown core. The space supports a wide range of activities during the festival, including individual practices, masterclasses, lectures, and recitals. Its open-air concept of the building favours natural light and fresh air, while cascading waterfalls cover the noise of downtown traffic, creating a serene oasis within the downtown core.

The facility includes convenient underground parking, full wheelchair accessibility, and elevator access, ensuring ease of use for all participants and visitors.

VPS will also host outdoor Reconciliation Sessions and community events in the Robson Square plaza, welcoming both locals and visitors from the broader community.
