The Starving Artist Borrowing Library is a non-profit
lending library based in Vancouver, BC.

We aim to support the performing and creative arts community by offering an ever-evolving inventory of clothing, accessories, travel gear, equipment and various other items at an accessible and affordable cost.

As a member-funded society, The SABL is focused on reducing waste, combatting fast-fashion, and supporting a circular economy whilst encouraging community collaboration to foster the development of new and original works within the Vancouver arts and entertainment scene.



We acknowledge the land which we gather is on the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
