Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is a hub for world-class music, art and culture, whose residents are far too often overlooked by the mainstream. Community group Everybody DTES hopes to change that with the DTES Artists’ Showcase: an expertly curated and produced variety show featuring some of the best art and artists the neighborhood has to offer. Performances have been pre-recorded and will be available to stream throughout the month of June.
