Always full of fun and creative items, our beloved shop is a gem to discover. After a fun and transformative summer, the weather is changing and so is the Gallery Shop. Andria Winters, AGGV Gallery Shop Coordinator, is here to let you know what to look forward to this fall.
The AGGV is excited to host a major exhibition for the summer of 2024: Generations: The Sobey Family and Canadian Art. Steven McNeil, AGGV Chief Curator & Director of Collections and Exhibitions, tells us why seeing this exhibition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
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.
AGGV Public Programs Coordinator, Natalie Rollins, shares her experience bringing this ceramics workshop to life, the value of learning in the Gallery, as well as the many benefits of getting your hands in the clay.
