Surrey: Cultural Diversity and Urban Creativity
As one of BC’s fastest-growing and most diverse cities, Surrey is a cultural powerhouse with a thriving arts scene that reflects its multicultural roots. From large-scale festivals to grassroots community projects, art in Surrey is vibrant, inclusive, and ever-evolving.

Situated between the Fraser River and the U.S. border, the city of Surrey is currently the fastest-growing city in the Metro Vancouver area and is set to surpass Vancouver in the near future. Due to its high population, Surrey offers a lot to explore in terms of art and culture. The Museum of Surrey consists of the main building and three heritage buildings on the east side of the museum. The museum’s mission is to connect the diverse population of the city and celebrate its past, present, and future. The Surrey Art Gallery is another major attraction. The gallery specializes in digital art, with over 10,000 local and international artists having shown their work here. The Surrey Art Gallery Association gift shop is a great addition to the gallery experience and offers a wide selection of unique and finely crafted items. Additionally, Surrey has a significant East Indian influence, which is reflected in dining, with the Surrey Spice Trail being a major guide to dining in the city, featuring some of the best restaurants. With its diverse and rapidly growing population, Surrey has a lot to explore!
