Gallery tips for Mission

A few things worth knowing before you work through Mission's art galleries:

• Visit twice if it moves you at Aurora Café + Roastery. A second visit to a strong show is never wasted. You see completely different work the second time.
• Bring a curious friend at Julie Anne's Art Supplies and Gallery. Art is better with someone to argue with about it. The disagreement is the point.
• Check the exhibition schedule first. A gallery is only as good as its current show. Two minutes on the website saves a wasted trip between exhibitions.
• Buy the catalogue. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.

Good to know

Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Mission can take a while to appear. The 8 above are only as current as the community map.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 8 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
