Initially a verdant network of creeks and marshland, The Flats played a vital role as an industrial centre while Vancouver grew from a quaint frontier town to a bustling city. Still criss-crossed by the railways that spurred on its development, The Flats is now Vancouver’s newest art district: a burgeoning industrial neighbourhood that has become home to over 15 of the city’s critically challenging contemporary art galleries.
