As part of the Aspiring, Emerging Artists Initiative (AEA), BCTC has created an inventory of youth friendly venues in BC appropriate for those ages 15-34 years old. Venues include restaurants/cafes, arts centres, pubs/clubs, gallery spaces, community halls, studios and other performing arts spaces. They were chosen to be included in this inventory as the venues are either appropriate for performances by aspiring, emerging artists or young people attend performances at these venues.
The venues are listed alphabetically by region. The inventory is meant as a guide only. Please be sure to check with the venue about the information listed as it may have changed since we collected the data.
If you would like to submit corrections or updates, please email Sheryl@bctouring.org.
