FUSE @ Art Gallery, Friday June 27th, 6PM-6AM

[sNyx]

"FUSE transforms the Vancouver Art Gallery into THE place for art, a social gathering, a party, a meeting place. It comes off as a club for people who don't like loud music."
---The Georgia Straight




On select Fridays, the Vancouver Art Gallery transforms into THE place for art, music and live performance in the city. Since its inception in July 2005, thousands of Fuse-goers have converged at the Gallery for this unique adult event. Live performances in the Gallery spaces, DJs, eclectic Gallery tours and unexpected surprises have made Fuse Vancouver's favourite see-and-be-seen event.
