Red Gate Arts Society
Red Gate Arts Society is a Vancouver, BC based non-profit that provides working space and performance venue to artists and musicians.[1] Since being founded in 1984 by Jim Carrico, it has operated a number of spaces, often being forced to move due to rising rent.[2] The New Pornographers started at a Red Gate Arts Society recording studio in the 1990s.[2] In 2012, Red Gate became non-profit.[3] From 2013 to 2018, Red Gate was based at 885 E Hastings, where the society faced rent difficulties.[4] It is currently based at 1965 Main Street Vancouver where it operates a performance space, artist studios, a tattoo shop, a screen printing shop, and a gallery.[5][6][7] Red Gate has recently received arts funding from the City of Vancouver.[5]
Red Gate has worked closely with CITR-FM student radio with Ana Rose Carrico having served both as director at Red Gate and executive director at CiTR-FM.[8] Red Gate has also hosted fundraising events for the Vancouver-based Drug User Liberation Front.[9]
