YVR Art Foundation

Art Foundation

We are proud to connect people, communities and cultures at YVR. We value our cultural heritage in BC and share this with the world every day through housing one of the largest private collections of Northwest Coast indigenous art. To support indigenous artists, we fund scholarships and mentoring for emerging and mid-career artists through the YVR Art Foundation.

Since 2011, YVR’s food and financial donations to the Quest Outreach Society totaling over $564,000 have resulted in 41 metric tonnes of quality surplus food and products diverted from landfill sites and approximately 256 metric tonnes of greenhouse gas equivalents prevented from entering our atmosphere.

We’re proud to partner with the Vancouver Pride Society to further diversity and inclusion in British Columbia. In 2022, we added an incredibly vibrant Pride Installation to the Canada Line Walkway – a stunning and educational piece supporting a safe space for all of us to be our most authentic selves.

We strive to provide a welcoming, inclusive and accessible travel experience for people of all abilities. Under a shared vision to make travel accessible and enjoyable for everyone, we work with community partners like Pacific Autism Family Network and Canucks Autism Network, to create resources and training to build confidence and break down barriers for individuals on the autism spectrum and families traveling through YVR. Not only do we believe in making travel accessible for all, we are also creating meaningful inclusive employment opportunities at YVR.

Through relentless support, absolute respect and unconditional love, YVR partners with Covenant House Vancouver to provide vulnerable youth with access to a safe space to call home in addition to wrap-around support. We're pleased to partner with Covenant House Vancouver as they help youth gain confidence and life skills.
