" Hi I'm Irwin Oostindie ( Executive Director ) with W2.
We're in the Woodward's complex and the Woodward's Complex is a major project that W2 is a part of. We'll be delivering a community amenity space - a community media centre, a community radio and tv station, and it's still an active construction site...so we're not done yet.
I don't think W2 will be moving into Woodward's until about September 2010... so we're working with the City of Vancouver and behind me is the Storyeum site. What we're looking at is running W2 from the Storyeum building on Cordova, on 151 West Cordova between April 15 to Sept 15th.
We'll do our art shows there, we'll do our youth and children summer camps, we'll have our offices, our media labs for the community, events... every week we'll have different events
So look forward to that.. you can check out the Storyeum building.. we'll be moving in April ... and that will be where W2 exists at Woodward's
So we're moving from our Perel Building on Hastings, 112 West Hastings, over to Storyeum at 151 West Cordova, then we're going to end up at the Woodward's Complex at 111 West Hastings Street
So W2 is moving around but we're almost there! "

We wanted to give you a headsup on W2's plans for the summer,
Community Meetings:
Thursday April 8th, 7pm-9pm;
Saturday April 10th, 10-11am;
Saturday April 17th, 10-11am
Thank you for all of your help and interest in the operations of W2s Culture + Media House during February. We presented over 35 events with art exhibitions, conferences, parties and receptions at our 112 West Hastings home, and also produced over 50 episodes of community television through our broadcast program. This was a solid experience as we grew as an organization and we received lots of love and profile from media organizations worldwide. Check out videos about us and our work: the City of Vancouvers Snap 2010 and a spotlight produced by our broadcast program.
For the next 5 months we will launch an exciting series of festivals, conferences, and daily programs and we hope you will stay involved. Storyeums 31,000 square feet of space will be home to a massive one-night exhibition in June featuring 200 artists, a series of festivals, a major urban art fair, Icograda Design Week Vancouver reception, Future Everything networked event—connecting Istanbul, Tokyo, Sao Paolo, Newcastle, and W2—and the launch reception for Vancouver Interactive Digital Week. And lots more to share with you!
Please join us for a community meeting this Thursday, April 8th at 7pm to get the full picture of what we are creating, and signup for new roles in our growing organization. Drinks will be had too from our wine and beer sponsors. We will also be doing meetings before our moving parties on the 10th and 17th. If you want to get signed up or meet us in person about getting involved please come by at 10am on April 10th or 17th.
Weve set two moving dates to move furniture and gear: April 10th and 17th, well be working throughout the day from 10am-6pm. If moving isnt your bag we also need help cleaning up, designing and setting up new spaces.
