South Granville
|
The South Granville shopping district extends from Granville
Street Bridge to 16th Avenue. Thing that makes South Granville a
must-visit: the incredible
Shopping, the fabulous
South Granville Restaurants
and the
South Granville Art Galleries Row.

South Granville Art
|
 South Granville has earned the moniker “Gallery Row” for
it’s 20+ galleries and antique shops, all of which are wonderful
for browsing as well as shopping. When it comes to art, these
galleries run the gamut, from Asian and First Nations sculpture
to B.C. impressionism and contemporary photography.

Gallery Row

Strolling South Granville’s Gallery Row is, after all, one of the “most
interesting things you can do in Vancouver” according to The Vancouver Sun, and
they’re free to visit, even if you’re not in the market to buy.
All of the galleries are worth a look, but there are a few
stand-outs. Both the Ian Tan Gallery and the Kurbatoff Art
Gallery promote contemporary Canadian artists; Ian Tan is
particularly worth a visit as it focuses on B.C. and local
artists.
Another must-visit to see contemporary Canadian artists is the
Bau-Xi Gallery, Vancouver’s oldest contemporary art gallery. (It
was founded in 1965.) Bau-Xi represents about 50 Canadian
artists, including big names in Canadian art history as well as
emerging talent.

| When you visit South Granville, one of my favourite ways to spend the day
was to stroll along Gallery Row on my way to the Granville Island Public Market.
Granville Island is just a few blocks north of South Granville, making it easy
to combine a trip to both destinations. |
