Open Door Platforms provides dynamic spaces for creatives, small businesses and the film industry by offering a diverse range of services tailored to support artists, entrepreneurs, and filmmakers alike. Across 7 commercial buildings from Gastown to Victoria Drive we manage a network of 75 studios providing an inspiring environment for individuals to nurture their talents and pursue their creative and commercial endeavours.

For artists, we offer purpose-built studios designed to foster innovation and collaboration. These spaces serve as sanctuaries where painters, sculptors, photographers, and other creatives can immerse themselves in their work, surrounded by like-minded individuals. Whether it's a painter seeking natural light, a sculptor in need of industrial workspace, or a photographer craving a versatile backdrop, the studios cater to a variety of artistic needs.

In addition to artist studios, we also provides flexible workspaces tailored to the needs of small businesses and startups. These spaces offer entrepreneurs an opportunity to establish a professional presence without the constraints of long-term leases, or exorbitant rents. With amenities such as high-speed internet, communal areas, and access to business support services, the workspaces serve as incubators for innovation and entrepreneurship.

We also work with the local film industry, offering unique production and filming locations that capture the essence of East Vancouver's urban landscape. From industrial warehouses to historic buildings, each location provides a distinctive backdrop for film and television productions. With a dedicated team experienced in facilitating on-site logistics, we offer a seamless experience for filmmakers from pre-production to post-production.

One of the key strategies we have is the packaging of studios into all-in-one cost structures. By bundling utilities, maintenance, and other essential services into a single, inclusive fee, the organization alleviates the administrative burden and allows creatives to focus on their craft without worrying about hidden expenses or unexpected charges. We are dedicated to making creative spaces more accessible for artists, entrepreneurs, and small businesses by eliminating barriers and streamlining processes. Recognizing the challenges often associated with navigating bureaucratic hurdles and managing overhead costs, especially in an expensive City like Vancouver, we take a proactive approach to remove red tape and simplify the experience for those we work with.

Overall, we hope to play a role in nurturing creativity, fostering community, and supporting small business economic development. By providing a platform for artists, entrepreneurs, and filmmakers to thrive, it contributes to the cultural vibrancy and vitality of the region, enriching both the local community and the broader creative landscape.
