Lucky to catch the Jean Paul Riopelle exhibit featuring remarkable abstract work. His owl sculptures are intriguing as well. Local artist Emily Carr had an exhibit that was interesting. I also enjoyed the exhibit that showcased experimental artwork from the 60's. Overall, a fun & engaging visit. Definitely a highlight to my trip to Vancouver.
Whenever we come to town we come here if there is an exhibit we are interested in. This time round it was an Emily Carr exhibit. We toured her house in Victoria last year, so this was perfect! They have storage lockers that you can leave your coats and such in.
– A Bit Underwhelming for Traditional Art EnthusiastsnnI recently visited the Vancouver Art Gallery and found it to be a mixed experience. While the building itself is architecturally impressive, the art collection didn't quite meet my expectations. The gallery emphasizes contemporary and abstract works, which, although significant in the art world, aren't particularly to my taste. I was hoping for a more diverse range of styles, including classical and representational pieces, but those were limited.nnThe admission fee is on the higher side—$35 for general admission and $29 for BC residents . However, it's commendable that the gallery offers free admission to youths aged 18 and under, making it more accessible for families .nnIn summary, if you're a fan of modern and abstract art, the Vancouver Art Gallery might be worth a visit. But if you prefer more traditional art forms, you might find the collection lacking.
Vancouver’s art gallery is really small, especially considering the $35 per person entry fee. I went because, well, at least Vancouver has an art gallery. But honestly, I wasn’t impressed. There wasn’t anything particularly interesting or unique.nnI couldn’t help but compare it to the art gallery in Toronto, where they had this interactive experience with small devices that tracked your heart rate and showed which art pieces impacted you the most. It was creative and engaging.nnOne thing that would make the experience better is if they gave out a brochure or guide highlighting the must-see spots, like specific frames or important paintings. It would help visitors make the most of their visit.nnAnother disappointing part is that the number of artworks seems to be decreasing. My friend mentioned that on his previous visit, there were more Emily Carr paintings displayed, but this time, there were noticeably fewer. It feels like the collection is shrinking rather than growing.nnAlso, I was lucky enough to see the first floor during my last visit, but this time, it was under construction. It’s frustrating to pay full price when parts of the gallery are constantly closed off. I really wish the experience was better, especially since we’re paying taxes that support it.
The Vancouver Gallery is a nice space. I got the exhibits of Emily Carr and Jean-Paul Riopelle, two greats of Canadian art. I only wish they Gallery had more space. They could show more great artists.
