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.
We are delighted to announce that the AGGV has acquired an exceptional work by renowned Cree artist, Kent Monkman. This is the first work by Monkman to enter the AGGV collection and the piece is now on display in our current exhibition In the Flesh: The Nude in Art, Past and Present.
