DIY by design
A focused venue website and a flexible real-world room—without unnecessary platform machinery.
About the room
A venue with the walls left in.
The Well Studios is part venue, part canvas, and part gathering place inside Vancouver's City Centre Artist Lodge.
City Centre Artist Lodge
A new life inside the former motor hotel.
The Well sits within the City Centre Artist Lodge, formerly the City Centre Motor Hotel. That history is visible: exterior murals, motel geometry, painted interiors, and traces of the artists and communities using the building now.
The room is intentionally adaptable. It can hold a DJ night, a screening, an art market, a cultural event, a projection experiment, or a gathering that does not fit neatly into a conventional venue category.

How the space is held
The Well Studios values
Alive
The room participates
Graffiti, projection, texture, and the building's history stay visible instead of being polished away.
Community
Room for many scenes
The Well's identity includes queer and BIPOC community energy, cultural exchange, and creative risk.
