Diana Victoria Newman (New Art at Bandidas)

“ Art speaks to me, as well as for me”

Diana Victoria Newman is a Vancouver born Artist and Expressive Arts Therapist.

After Diana discovered that her artwork held deep truthful insights into her reality and helped to awaken, heal, inspire & liberate her, she was inspired to let the art lead the way.

Corinne Palmer (new art at Bandidas)

Familiar blue city skylines decorate the walls of Bandidas this month (and one roaming Sasquatch). The paintings of Vancouverite Corinne Palmer are uniquely charming, and are brightening up the walls of our restaurant.
Corinne’s work will be up for the next month, so be sure to check it out next time you’re around!

Rob Buten (New Art at Bandidas)

Rob Buten’s art is back on our walls, and we couldn’t be happier. We first learned of his work through his participation in our Fireweed Art Show for our inauguration day fundraiser in 2016. A bit more about the artist:

National Indigenous Peoples Day Fundraiser & Art Show

We've wanted to mark NIPD at Bandidas for many years, but have struggled with how best to execute an event. As white business owners, we’ve often felt unsure of how to be effective allies, and the desire to do things perfectly can often keep us from acting.
