Zameen Art House is a 2,800 sq ft creative space at 1515 Anderson Street on Granville Island. Most nights it hosts concerts, workshops and screenings for the public.

Companies book the same rooms, artists and crew for their own people: a year-end party with a live band, a painting afternoon, an all-hands with proper sound and screen, or a reception in the café.
