To celebrate the opening of our newly expanded store, we’re having a little party on Thursday night. It co-incides with the “Converge on Main” shopping night. We will stay open ’til 9 pm, so join us for a beer (courtesy of our friends at Peroni!) and we will be offering 10% off ALL stock, 30% off all books and many other great deals!
Hope to see you there!

Please excuse the noise and appearance of the store over the next couple of weeks, as we are EXPANDING! We have taken over the space next door, are cutting out the wall and in June will offer you a bigger, better Vancouver Special! More furniture, new products, and twice the space! Can’t wait for you to see what we have in store…

Vancouver Special hosted the first UBC AHVA Alumni Event on Wednesday night. Alumni from the department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory gathered for a special evening with guest speaker Ian Wallace. Thank you all who attended, it was great to see so many friendly faces and meet lots of new ones too. See you at the next one!

We now have a limited number of new Vancouver Special t-shirts for sale at the store! The original type-effect was designed by our friend, the talented filmmaker/musician/east-LA Vancouver transplant Aaron Beckum. Printed on ultra-soft 50/50 American Apparel black shirts. $28 each. Get one before they’re gone!
