Exhibitions

The Richmond Art Gallery is an award-winning gallery that presents remarkable contemporary art exploring ideas and issues relevant to the world today.  We promote dialogue around contemporary art from BC, across Canada and internationally.  We are here to offer you ways to connect to art, your community and yourself by providing a place to look, think, create and communicate. 

Why contemporary art?  Because it deals with topics drawn directly from daily life, like science, the environment, race, social issues and so on.  The Richmond Art Gallery explores trends locally, nationally and internationally and looks for ideas that are meaningful to our community.  Some exhibitions will appeal to you more than others, and that’s alright.  We strive to show work in a variety of media (painting, photography, installation, video, etc.) dealing with different topics.  Each show offers you an opportunity to learn more about art, your world and yourself.

You can find us in the Richmond Cultural Centre (Library Building),  a five- minute walk from the Brighouse Canada Line Station, just across Minoru Boulevard.

January 27 – April 1, 2012
Opening Reception: Thursday January 26, 7–9 pm

This exhibition by Stuart McCall and Neil Wedman is comprised of two separate bodies of work—drawings and photographs. The artworks were made years apart but are linked by an indelible local history in the subject of Bill Vander Zalm’s Fantasy Garden World.
