About This Business

The Arts Club Taxi Stand, located on Johnston Street next to the Arts Club Theatre parking lot on Granville Island, serves as a convenient transportation hub for visitors. This taxi stand is part of the larger Granville Island public facilities, which cater to the diverse needs of the millions of visitors the island attracts annually. Granville Island, managed by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), is a unique urban and social experimentation space that blends creative, cultural, and business models, engaging local First Nations and communities while welcoming the world. The island's transformation from an industrial wasteland to a beloved public space began in the 1970s and has since become Vancouver's premier artistic and cultural hub. The taxi stand, along with the immediate loading and unloading area for ride-hail services in front of Ocean Artworks, contributes to the island's appeal by providing accessible transportation options. Granville Island is steeped in a rich industrial and maritime heritage, offering an unexpected mix of uses that include the famous Public Market, home to over 50 independent food purveyors. The island's charm lies in its blend of old and new, industrial and artistic, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and international visitors. With its commitment to community engagement and cultural preservation, Granville Island, through facilities like the Arts Club Taxi Stand, continues to inspire and attract visitors from around the world.
