Vancouver Art Gallery

The Vancouver Gallery is a nice space. I got the exhibits of Emily Carr and Jean-Paul Riopelle, two greats of Canadian art. I only wish they Gallery had more space. They could show more great artists.

Vancouver’s art gallery is really small, especially considering the $35 per person entry fee. I went because, well, at least Vancouver has an art gallery. But honestly, I wasn’t impressed. There wasn’t anything particularly interesting or unique. I couldn’t help but compare it to the art gallery in Toronto, where they had this interactive experience with small devices that tracked your heart rate and showed which art pieces impacted you the most. It was creative and engaging. One thing that would make the experience better is if they gave out a brochure or guide highlighting the must-see spots, like specific frames or important paintings. It would help visitors make the most of their visit. Another disappointing part is that the number of artworks seems to be decreasing. My friend mentioned that on his previous visit, there were more Emily Carr paintings displayed, but this time, there were noticeably fewer. It feels like the collection is shrinking rather than growing. Also, I was lucky enough to see the first floor during my last visit, but this time, it was under construction. It’s frustrating to pay full price when parts of the gallery are constantly closed off. I really wish the experience was better, especially since we’re paying taxes that support it.

Lucky to catch the Jean Paul Riopelle exhibit featuring remarkable abstract work. His owl sculptures are intriguing as well. Local artist Emily Carr had an exhibit that was interesting. I also enjoyed the exhibit that showcased experimental artwork from the 60's. Overall, a fun & engaging visit. Definitely a highlight to my trip to Vancouver.

Whenever we come to town we come here if there is an exhibit we are interested in. This time round it was an Emily Carr exhibit. We toured her house in Victoria last year, so this was perfect! They have storage lockers that you can leave your coats and such in.

Beautiful art but the main floor was mostly photography and history. Second floor has wonderful large paintings and the third floor was closed. A little overcrowded but we went on the free Friday of the month. The entire building is constantly shifting as if there is a never ending earthquake. I was slightly motion sick from the floor moving for the 2ish hours I was there
