Since its founding in 2015, Duplex has aimed to provide resources to lower-income, early career artists, and in 2017 Duplex formally became a Non-Profit organization. Providing over 20 affordable studio spaces, an exhibition space, wood shop, kiln, programming opportunities, and a small library, our organization offers emerging and established artists the opportunity to think and make together within a community.
Thanks to our non-hierarchical and self-run organizing structure, Duplex provides a unique and necessary outlet for experimentation. Be it through exhibition, skill sharing, curation, or communal operating and leadership, Duplex is a space for learning how to be together. Our space is an integral part of the health and well-being of our local and national arts ecosystem.

We are grateful to the City of Vancouver for providing financial support to Duplex in order to continue its operations.
