Edit: As our gallery isn’t a large space we’ll be viewing it from the street. We’ll be kicking off the window gallery at 4pm rain or shine. If you can’t make it to the opening at 4, not to worry. It’s viewable 24 hours a day for the next month.
Instagallery open this Wednesday!

Announcing an innovative new gallery show in Kee’s Laundry Gallery from Vancouver advertising agency St. Bernadine , featuring Vancouver Chinatown street photography and the popular photo sharing application, Instagram.
Set to open on the evening of April 18th, “Instagallery” is a live and interactive exhibit that pulls photos with the hashtag #ChinatownYVR from Instagram and projects them in our Gallery space. This interactive photography exhibit encourages anyone with an iPhone, an interest in photography, and a love of Vancouver’s Chinatown to add their photos into the gallery’s exhibit. Anyone can participate with a few easy steps:
1) Download the Instagram app in the app store
2) Take photos around Vancouver’s Chinatown
3) Hashtag #ChinatownYVR in the photo’s caption
4) See your photo incorporate into the gallery slideshow in April!
A special grand opening celebration will take place for media and the Chinatown neighbourhood the late afternoon of the opening day. Once open, all are welcomed to view the exhibition anytime by street viewing or by appointment through www.keeslaundry.com.
