The federal regulation has decided it won't share a pavilion with the province of British Columbia during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver next February, Father of State for Sport Gary Lunn announced on Sunday.
Instead, the federal government will shape its own $10-million Canada pavilion in an empty parking lot in downtown Vancouver near the intersection of West Georgia and Cambie streets — a prime locale in the heart of the Olympic zone.
"It is a $10-million investment in marketing Canada to the world. An global audience will come to know what we already know — that Canada is an ideal destination for business, investment and tourism," said Lunn.
B.C. was hoping to part the cost of building a joint federal-provincial pavilion, just like the two governments did for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and for the Beijing Summer Games in 2008.
But Lunn said this even so the Canadian government is planning a pavilion that will highlight tourism and investment opportunities across Canada, so the ex emphasis on B.C. does not fit its plans.

Does The Vancouver Art Gallery Have A Painting By Da Vinci?

Does The Vancouver Art Gallery Have A Painting By Da Vinci? Is there usual to be? Witch one is it?
There is only one painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the whole Western hemisphere: the portrait of Ginevra de' Benci housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. There are only around fifteen surviving paintings in all the beget which can be attributed with some certainty to Leonardo. I have not heard of any Leonardo paintings that are scheduled for a traveling exhibition. It is to the nth degree unusual for Leonardo paintings to travel, given their rarity, delicateness, and priceless value. Leonardo's Mona Lisa traveled to the US in 1963 from the Musee du Louvre in Paris for disclose at Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it will very likely never travel again. I would be surprised to see a Leonardo painting travel in an exhibition to the Vancouver Art Gallery, and absolutely shocked if the VAG were able to permanently acquire a Leonardo painting (but they have a lot of other great stuff in their collection!).

Does going to an art gallery cost money?
Jun 10, 2007 by fobulous69chink | Posted in Other - Visual Arts
Is there a shelter price for going to an art gallery in downtown vancouver? And usually how much? It's public and it's my friend who has her art on display or something...Buschlen Mowatt Galleries downtonw vancouver. Gimme unspecific answers if you don't know this particular one. THANKS!!!!
Customarily, art galleries do not charge admission. Either they are non-profit and supported by public monies and memberships, or they are commercial and type their income from the sale of artwork. Art museums, however, generally do charge admission.
Public galleries allowed visitors, and generally do not pressure people to buy anything. Please visit your friend's exhibit and sign the guestbook! Galleries and artists inamorata to see that lots of people have visited them.

Art gallery, Olympic village and more touched by provincial budget
Here’s a affiliation to the report from Vancouver city finance guy Ken Bayne about the implications of the provincial budget for the city of Vancouver. Some of Bayne’s judgement could just as easily apply to Surrey or Coquitlam — the impact of all-day kindergarten on community centres, which may get more customer acceptance wanted for after-school care; the hits on libraries; the HST that will be applied to some city fees.
But there are also some impacts that hit Vancouver a little harder than most. The HST on new residential units over $400,000, Bayne notes, could bearing the future marketing of Olympic village condos which the city has a pretty direct interest in. The provincial budget makes no divulge of the Vancouver Art Gallery or any funding for it, which will likely have an impact on whether and where the gallery moves to. However, there is money identified for the construction of the new pre-trial pivot, whichever municipality that ends up in.
The money for repairing the roof on BC Place is there, but it’s uncertain whether it will be enough to cross the full bill. The operating money for HEAT shelters continue to the end of the 2009/2010 fiscal year (that’s end of Walk, I believe) and the money for the first six social-housing sites is there, but there is nothing identified for the other eight until something happens with the Little Mountain redevelopment.
