Select matches will feature extended opening hours, depending on the game schedule.
Reservations are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome based on availability.
4. Start or add to your dad’s art collection
Looking for a gift that gives back? Visit the Art Rental & Sales Showroom to support local and discover original artwork by emerging and mid-career artists based in BC, including Vancouver photographer Kevin Boyle.
Boyle’s practice is rooted in a fascination with beauty in desolation and the passage of time. Working through careful manipulation of light and perspective, he creates images that feel suspended—moments that could not exist outside the frame. His work invites viewers to look again, challenging what we think we see at first glance. Find out more »
When you rent or purchase art from the Gallery’s Art Rental & Sales Program—or give a certificate—you’re not only offering a gift that inspires every day, but you’re also directly supporting artists in our community and the Gallery’s exhibitions and educational programs.
5. Unleash your creativity with hands-on art activities
Drop in and create your own masterpiece in The Making Place, every Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Try an art-making activity inspired by the exhibitions on view.
We also offer guided Family Tours on Sundays at 2 PM to help you delve deeper into the exhibitions together.
On Sunday, June 21, we will be honouring National Indigenous Peoples day with special eagle feather design workshops led by artist Christine Mackenzie of the Kwakiutl Nation. Register now »
Admission is always free for children and youth aged 18 and under.
We look forward to welcoming your family to the Gallery!
