Vancouver Art Gallery

Discover the power of art at the Vancouver Art Gallery! 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 all 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. The Gallery’s exhibitions also explore the impact of images in the larger sphere of visual culture, design and architecture.  Make the most of your visit with a stop at the Gallery Store for unique gifts or break for a meal at 1931 Gallery Bistro’s exquisite rooftop patio overlooking downtown Vancouver. Start your own art collection by renting or purchasing a work by a BC–based artist in the Gallery’s Art Rental & Sales Showroom.  Wednesday - Sunday: 10am-5pm | Tuesday: Closed |  Friday: Open until 8pm Youth (age 13-18): Free Admission   The Vancouver Art Gallery is situated on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and is respectful of the Indigenous stewards of the land it occupies, whose rich cultures are fundamental to artistic life in Vancouver and the work of the Gallery.
