The Wychword barns is a diverse cultural community filled with dynamic mix of
arts, culture, food, security, and many
more exciting activities that builds upon
the new life of an old former streetcar
repair facility.
The complex holds living and working space for artists, programing and
administrative facilities for ten notfor-profit organizations, studio space,
indoor and outdoor growing areas, a
community-run gallery, and an 8,000

art markets, conferences and events.
The barn opened in November 2008 and
it has quickly become a popular social
area in the neighbourhood.
