Choklit Salon: An afternoon at Arthur Erickson & Nick Milkovich’s Choklit Townhomes
VANCOUVER: On March 9th, the West Coast Modern League invites you to an intimate afternoon of art, architecture, and conversation at the celebrated Choklit Townhomes, also known as the “Cathedral of Art,” designed by Arthur Erickson in collaboration with Nick Milkovich. Hear remarks on working with Arthur on this and other landmark projects from our special guest Nick Milkovich. Immerse yourself in an eclectic collection of artworks personally curated by homeowner Bruce Munro Wright, who will also be present to welcome you and say a few words about the art and architecture.
The Choklit Townhomes, completed in 2004, is a triplex community aptly named for its proximity to the original Purdy’s Chocolates factory in Vancouver. This modern glass, steel, and concrete structure is a celebration in industrial loft living that prioritizes natural light, adaptation to a diversity of lifestyles, and the creation and enjoyment of art. Atop this “Cathedral of Art” sits an expansive rooftop terrace with brilliant views towards False Creek, the downtown core, and the Coast Mountains.
Choklit Salon is a fundraising effort of the West Coast Modern League. The League is a volunteer-based non-profit society dedicated to the promotion and celebration of West Coast Modernist architecture and its creators. All funds raised from the event will support the League’s ongoing public programs and initiatives.
