So I thought, being someone who is constantly looking for new cool places in Vancouver to shoot, I thought I would do my version of Vancouver’s most Instagrammable places! Not to mention it’s CANADA DAY! ? More reason to show my home some love. A lot of these will be very similar to ones in other Vancouver posts but I don’t want to discredit them just because they are popular. So if you’re planning to visit anytime soon, check these spots out! 

1. That cool alley on Seymour st. by Pender st.

6. McArthurGlen Outlet

 

Little something about me: I have an obsession with stationary. Notebooks, agendas, pens, paper… The amount of half-finished agendas and notebooks I go through is embarrassing ? #oops // and if you were wondering I’m currently using a @shinola agenda which I actually love! #NotAnAd #genuinelylovethisagenda

If you think I’m missing some KEY places in Vancouver, let me know! 

Until next time, 

I finally got to visit the MASH UP exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery! I’ve been waiting for this weeks before the exhibit was even ready and Vernice and I finally found time to go and check it out.

The exhibit was freakin’ HUUUUGE. If you were planning to go see it I would give yourself at least 2 hours if you really wanted to take your time and walk through and look at everything. I definitely enjoyed myself a lot but Vern and I were able to finish all of it in about an hour because we both aren’t the types to sit and stare at the art and try to analyze. We pretty much looked at each piece, admired for a couple seconds, and moved on.

One of my favourite walls would definitely be the Warhol Marilyns. I got to see a bunch of Warhol’s work at the exhibit that happened in Vancouver last year, but I definitely did not mind seeing it again. Marilyn Monroe was such a beauty icon. That mixed with Andy Warhol, a pop-art icon, really created something that’s so cool and unique and just… awesome. Ugh I love it. 10/10 would have a Warhol Marilyn wall in my future home.

They used the entire gallery for the exhibit, and made great use of all the space too. There definitely wasn’t a single boring moment to say the least. If you’re from Vancouver, or you’re planning to visit soon, I would say definitely spend the money to go see the exhibit. Costs just under 30 dollars but it really is an eye opener. It address so much of our culture (TV, Music, Computers, Technology, Pop-art…) in unique perspectives. Definitely glad I got to see it.

Also Tuesday nights are a great night to go if you don’t want to spend the 25 dollars. They have entrance by donation on Tuesday nights. As if Tuesdays in Vancouver weren’t bomb enough…

By the way! Make sure you follow me on Snapchat (@azhng) to keep up with all my adventures. Vern and I had some pretty hilarious snaps while we were in the Art Gallery…

Talk to yall soon!

Earlier on, in March, I had the amazing opportunity to go to the “Andy Warhol : A Different Idea Of Love” exhibit, in a gallery in Yaletown. Although I honestly don’t know much about art, I definitely don’t think you need a art background to appreciate the work that Warhol had done. With his amazing use of print and colours, his work definitely was way ahead of his time. I left the the exhibit feeling quite amazed and definitely a little inspired as well. The exhibit is free to visit, and is located on 1280 Homer Street. The exhibit has actually been prolonged, and is now open from April 1st to April 28th. You can check out the exhibit’s website to find out what their hours are, and when you can go pay them a visit.

If you can, I would definitely pull a little bit of time in your day to try to go see this. It’s quite a small exhibit, so you really don’t need much time at all to go to through whole thing. WORTH THOUGH.

SPOILER ALERT BTW. I took a few photos of the exhibit, so if you’re planning to go and see it, and don’t want to see in through pictures, then maybe skip the rest of this post.

Hope all my Vancouverites go and check this out !

Until next time,
