How the AGGV Began – Part 2

By Anu Henderson, AGGV Administrator, Curatorial and Learning & Engagement, in Part 2 of this series, we follow the events that unfold after the Little Centre changes it’s location and name!

A Spoon Full of Sugar

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 Beauty of Winter Small Works

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.

PAINT-IN VOLUNTEERS – AT THE HEART OF IT ALL

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.
