 The
Gallery stands in the centre of a city recognized as a
nurturing ground for artistic talent. Through
cutting-edge exhibitions, we feature the work of leaders
in the field of contemporary art and Vancouver's
internationally renowned artists, including Jeff Wall,
Ian Wallace, Stan Douglas, Rodney Graham, Roy Arden and
Brian Jungen, serving as a portal for their remarkable
achievements while furthering British Columbia's
artistic legacy.
The Gallery also houses the magnificent
works of significant historical artists, including the
most extensive collection of the work of Canada's
beloved Emily Carr. Our permanent holdings number more
than 9,000 artworks, making the Gallery one of the most
valuable collections in Canada.
