Juice Bar YVR

Established in 2016 as Canada’s very first natural wine bar, Juice Bar sparked a movement—one that’s since grown into a vibrant community of like-minded spaces across the country. Though we wrapped up bar service in September 2023, our spirit is very much alive. Today, you’ll find us as the offsales fridge at The American, continuing  to champion the same mission we started with: making wine approachable, joyful, and rooted in our core belief that great wine is simply grapes.

What began as a humble pop-up nine years ago continues to evolve in that same adventurous spirit. As we look toward the future, we remain committed to offering wines we love, supporting the growers who inspire us, and creating a welcoming space—pop-up or otherwise—for anyone curious to explore the world of natural wine.

Nathalee Paolinelli

Born in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, I am deeply influenced by my diverse heritage, with roots in both Italian and Indigenous cultures. Over the past few years, I have turned to ceramics as a natural extension of my painting and sculptural practice. I do not favour the formal or the functional; instead, I embrace an amateur approach to the medium of clay. This consciously naïve perspective makes each object unique.
For me, the repetitive acts of rolling, shaping, patterning, and painting slabs create a foundation for these dialogues, where accidents, gravity, drips, and slips are allowed to manifest boldly once they enter the kiln. It is this delicate negotiation between my intentions as an artist and the demands of the material that imbues each piece with its own precarious and poetic tension.

Shiloh Sukkau

Shiloh Sukkau  is an independent architect whose studio practice is analogue and craft-based. Sukkau works with archetypal forms and concepts, applying them to functional programs and pieces, primarily working by hand. Though formally educated in both fine art and architecture, her practice is grounded in the self-taught, DIY ethos of her upbringing rather than the conventions of her training. Her work, which includes architecture and architectural accessories, references her personal interests, her routine, and the theatrics of daily life.

Vetrova Jewelry

Vancouver-based jeweler Anya Vetrova works from a foundation in traditional goldsmithing, designing and carving each piece by hand with a precise, sculptural approach. She treats fine metals and gemstones as active materials, letting their properties inform the work. Drawing on classical technique while engaging a contemporary sensibility, she creates jewelery that is quietly sophisticated, enduring, and distinctly her own.
