Holly Timpener will be spending an anticipated 7 hours in the Spencer Mansion foyer of the AGGV, activating the space with a “durational performance that resists normative spoon-fed ideas and perceptions of gender.”

The Winter Small Works Show & Sale will be coming to you once again this November. In addition to the amazing artworks, the Massey Sales Gallery itself becomes a work of art, with its vibrant, locally created works of art strung frame-to-frame. Get a taste of what’s to come in this much anticipated sneak preview.

Dr. Toby Lawrence joined the AGGV in May 2024 as our Curator of Contemporary Art, a new role at the Gallery. We hope you enjoy getting to know her a bit more in this introductory interview!

Since 1987, the AGGV has had the pleasure of hosting the Art Gallery Paint-In, bringing together local artists, community organizations, and the local community for what has grown to become Vancouver Island’s largest free arts festival, and year after year, it’s our amazing volunteers who are at the heart of it all.
