WIA x AFBC - Making Space Exhibition


Join us for @wia_vancouver’s second annual exhibition, presented in collaboration with the @architecturefoundationbc.

The 2026 exhibition, titled Making Space: The Feminine Palette and Presence in Design, will take place March 7–8, 2026 in Vancouver, in celebration of International Women’s Day.

The exhibition weekend will include a curated opening event followed by a public, stand-alone exhibition.

General Exhibition: Saturday, March 7 | 4:00–6:00 PM
General Exhibition: Sunday, March 8 | 11:00 AM–4:00 PM

📍 Location: Another Studios Inc., located within Focal on 3rd, an AFBC Award-Winning building at 107 E 3rd Ave, Vancouver, BC.

Making Space: The Feminine Palette and Presence in Design explores how women actively create, claim, and transform space - physically, socially, culturally, and imaginatively - across a wide spectrum of practices. The exhibition considers space not only as something built, but as something shaped through process, material, form, narrative, and lived experience.

Bringing together work from architecture and a broad range of design-related and spatial practices—including interior and landscape design, art, ceramics, graphic design, and other material explorations—the exhibition highlights how women make space for ideas, communities, identities, and futures. It foregrounds practices that challenge conventions, expand boundaries, and reimagine how environments are conceived, experienced, and inhabited.

Submissions can be submitted using this form and secure your spot here.
