Gryphon Development and VMO partnered for the Life in Balance Concert Series which included a lauded pop-up concert at Vancouver Art Gallery earlier this month.
The local art-focused developer has a number of initiatives that supports local artists, including Gryphon Musée, a platform and gallery space that celebrates contemporary artists, and Gryphon Atelier, a collaborative, artist-driven approach to real estate development.
