Galleries are a place of convergence where art intersects with life, where expression gives way to inspiration and a shared experience creates community.
Curators are a vital part of the ebb and flow of the art scene. Working alongside artists to showcase work and draw an audience; a symbiotic and supportive relationship. Galleries across British Columbia showcase the art of locals, well known artists, and internationally recognized professionals. Explore hundreds of galleries throughout the province, from small, individually owned spaces, to large city exhibitions housed in public galleries.
