Museum of Anthropology
The Museum of Anthropology at UBC is one of the most meaningful event settings in the region — a world-renowned collection of Indigenous art and cultural artifacts, housed in a landmark Arthur Erickson building with soaring glass walls overlooking the water and mountains. Hosting an event here carries weight. It signals to your guests that this gathering matters.
Best suited for: Galas, VIP receptions, conferences, and corporate events for up to 400–500 guests where cultural significance and stunning surroundings are part of the experience. Best suited to organizations that approach the setting with the respect it deserves.
KindCo's take: We'd encourage any client hosting here to incorporate a brief acknowledgment of the space's significance into the event programming — not as a checkbox, but as a genuine moment of orientation that sets a thoughtful tone for everything that follows.

Booked the Space? Now make it count.
A great venue gets people in the room. What happens once they're there is a different question entirely.
If you're using a space like The Kent for a team offsite, a leadership day, or any gathering where you want people to leave feeling differently than when they arrived — we can help with that part. KindCo designs and facilitates experiences that build real connection, not just fill an agenda.
