The I E Artspeak Gallery Society is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under arts.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $270K in revenue and $404K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
