VIEW THE AUCTION
Located on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəýəm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səĺilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, the Vancouver Art Gallery is one of Canada’s most important cultural institutions. Our mission is to create—through art—new paths to connect, inspire and empower growing audiences toward a broader understanding of the past, involvement in the present and shaping of the future. This mission is manifested through our exhibitions, educational programs, publications and the care of our permanent collection.

We strongly believe that, through art, we create paths to share perspectives, build and engage communities and shape our collective future. This mission is the underlying force guiding all our activities, from the development of exhibition, digital, public and educational programs to the acquisition of artworks and the conservation of our collection.
