Vancouver Art Gallery  

Through art we create paths to share perspectives, build and engage communities and shape our collective future together.

Founded in 1931, the Vancouver Art Gallery is recognized as one of North America’s most innovative visual arts institutions. The Gallery’s celebrated exhibitions, extensive public programs and emphasis on advancing scholarship focus on historical and contemporary art from British Columbia and around the world. Special attention is given to the accomplishments of Indigenous artists, as well as to those of the Asia Pacific region—through the Institute of Asian Art founded in 2014. The Gallery’s exhibitions also explore the impact of images in the larger sphere of visual culture, design and architecture.

The Vancouver Art Gallery is a charitable not-for-profit organization supported by its members, individual donors, corporate funders, foundations, the City of Vancouver, the Province of British Columbia through the BC Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.

Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver in a historic courthouse, the Vancouver Art Gallery is a must-see while travelling in Vancouver. Only a 5 min walk from Granville, Burrard or Vancouver City Centre Skytrain Station.

Enhance your experience by visiting the Gallery Store for unique gifts, or enjoy a meal at 1931 Gallery Bistro on their stunning rooftop patio.

The Gallery’s exhibitions rotate throughout the year and include works from our rich permanent collection along with temporary thematic exhibitions.
