Welcome to the West Coast, where art happens! Andria Winters, AGGV Gallery Shop Coordinator is proud to host over 200 local artists, and with that, a multitude of talent.

This past year, the Shop focused on building relationships with the local community, and our hard work and great networking has paid off.

The Gallery Shop celebrates the talent and diversity of artists looking at and sharing their histories.
BC Indigenous artists and their interpretations of Canadian iconography.

Call it foraging or curating, we’ve attracted some of the best and most interesting painters, potters, fabric makers, and jewellers. From historical favourites like Nancy Frazer’s pottery and Linda Rajotte’s jewellery, to up-and-coming candle maker Tessa Serra of Rising Moon and Amanda Chudak, the Felt Florist, we have something for every taste and every budget.

University of Victoria student and artist Tatum Heyhurst loves to crochet to de-stress after studying. The results are these adorable critters and creatures.
Nicola North captures her West Coast lifestyle in her art and shares her love for nature with stickers, stickers, and stickers!

In anticipation of summer visitors to the Island, we are expanding our collection of products by local artisans in celebration of all things Vancouver Island. We are grateful to have Indigenous jewellers Nicole Mandryk, Jaime Davis, Nicole Goodstriker and Nikita Auchter partnering with us to feature their artistry.

Bowen Island artist Anja Jane shares whimsical images of BC and features West Coast hotspots via her postcards, stickers, and patches.

Images of our West Coast lifestyle can be taken home and shared via cards, prints, ceramics, and yes, that perfect pair of earrings.

Add the Gallery Shop to your list of favourite local shops and celebrate as we do, TOGETHER IN ART!
