Going to openings is like eating and drinking to an artist. Sometimes it’s refreshing, and sometimes it feels downright repetitive. But, no matter what, you just have to keep on going.

The contribution of hotels, pubs, and bars to the lifestyle of Vancouver is an ongoing legacy. Many types of music have been fostered and encouraged. Interior decorations, exterior landmark signs and innovative cuisine have included fusion styles which have stemmed from the ethnic diversity of the city. This art show is a tribute to the part hotels, pubs and bars have played in the formation of the social fabric of the city.

Opening: Ron Tran at the Charles H. Scott Gallery
- Date: 7:30 on Tuesday, March 8, 2011
- Show: It Knows Not What It Is
- Artist: Ron Tran
- Location: Charles H. Scott Gallery
- Address: 1399 Johnston Street, Granville Island
The Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by local Vancouver artist Ron Tran. Tran’s installation at the Charles H. Scott Gallery is about a stick. Purchased on the street where it was cut from a nearby tree the stick had no discernable use or value. Intrigued by its potential, Tran has created a project centred on developing meaning and worth for this rudimentary object.
