Vancouver Art Gallery’s Hot New Summer Season

Art aficionados will surely be impressed by seven diverse exhibitions planned to roll out over the next new months.

The collections showcase an extraordinary roster of art from the early 20th century to present day. Here are some highlights launching the month of June:
