    Description

    For fifty years, the Contemporary Art Gallery has played a key role in the cultural ecologies of Vancouver, operating as a threshold between the Lower Mainland and broader contexts for contemporary art nationally and internationally. With a primary commitment to presenting the work of early and mid-career artists from across Canada and around the globe, CAG champions art, artists and ideas that challenge us to transcend the familiar, reimagine the possible, and deepen our understanding of ourselves, one another and the worlds around us.

    Building on its previous histories as an artists' service organization and an artist-run centre, CAG has operated as a non-collecting public gallery since 1996. Currently housed in a 6,000-square-foot facility in downtown Vancouver, CAG is within close proximity of 2.5 million people in the Greater Vancouver Area. CAG carries out its work on the unceded and ancestral territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. As a predominantly settler-led organization, we acknowledge our responsibility to each of these nations, who have stewarded this land, water and air for thousands of years.
