About Vancouver Independent Music Centre Society (VIM):
VIM is a non-profit, charitable organization established in 2011 with a mandate to develop a well-designed, central, accessible, sustainable and culturally diverse music centre. Through research and planning, we’ve heard from hundreds of musicians, music presenters, concertgoers, managers and others to determine the vision and feasibility for a new state-of-the-art venue for Vancouver. In 2018, the City of Vancouver passed zoning at the Plaza of Nations to include a 20,000 square foot music centre based on the VIM’s vision and plans.
