Vancouver is one of North America’s most important gateways to Asia and now has one of the fastest growing Asian populations in the world. This fall, to better reflect the communities that we serve, the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Institute of Asian Art launches Tan Yishu, a Mandarin-language lecture series of art talks.

溫哥華是北美通往亞洲最重要的門戶之一,現今也是亞洲人口增長最快的城市。為了響應社區,今年秋季溫哥華美術館亞洲藝術館推出了一系列以中文講授的藝術講座『談藝術』。
