In the afternoon, art-loving Vancouverites took in free talks and tours by art-world experts who explored and illuminated a selection of exhibitions in gallery districts across the city.

The day ended with a special screening of Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, Tamra Davis’ feature documentary about the legendary artist, followed by a lively reception with fellow art lovers.
