Hmm. Reviewing an art gallery while not being influenced by the art within it should be tricky. Afterall the reason you go to a gallery should be to look at the exhibits not the venue. But it's easy to review the BAG and not it's contents.

The space…More »

A beautiful gallery with two main gallery spaces; one with huge ceilings that looks a bit like a gymnasium, the other smaller space with loads of natural light.

I've seen some pretty good exhibits here and I've seen some absolutely absurd pieces as…More »

This is a great gallery. It used to be owned by Brad Chernoff who ran one of the cities best framing shops in the adjacent suite. He used to exhibit local artists and on occasion work from his private collection. His exhibit of rare Klimt lithographs…More »

This park makes me slightly less jealous of the quality of life enjoyed by Parisians, Berliners and other European cities. The Park provides a very impressive survey of modern 3 dimensional art from the 20th Century. Alexander Calder, Richard Serra,…More »

Neighbourhood: Centrum

Small classic intimate exhibit spaces on the top floor. Contemporary industrial, edgy and cool on the bottom. Deceptively large space.

This gallery appears to be a converted home. Sometimes this can be a bit of a distraction but the designers of Foam…More »

This is a nice lobby. But as an art gallery it doesn't work, or at least no one has used it to it's full potential.

I can't confirm this but rumour has it that you pay to exhibit here. If that's true than anyone with money and a smattering of talent…More »

I think the VAG could do better. Right now it might be suffering from mismanagement.
