Our arts and culture awards showcase our vibrant creative communities and the tremendous diversity of Vancouver, an international hub of creativity and cultural expression.
Arts and culture play a vital role in the liveability of any city. Our creative future is in our collective hands. Based on the talented, inspiring people we honour through the Mayor's Arts Awards, our future looks bright.
The Poet Laureate is an honorary position that honours and celebrates the contribution of literature and poetry to life in Vancouver. The program is a partnership of the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Public Library, and Vancouver Writers Fest.
Since 1989, the annual City of Vancouver Book Award has been recognizing authors of excellence of any genre who contribute to the appreciation and understanding of Vancouver's history, unique character, or the achievements of its residents.
The City of Vancouver artist studio awards support emerging artists for a three-year term of concentrated artistic activity.
