Gallery tips for Sechelt
Gallery-going in Sechelt? A few habits help:
- Buy local art if you can at Nanaimo Art Gallery. An original from a local artist costs less than you think and means more than any print. Start with works on paper.
- Check the exhibition schedule first at Catching Stars Gallery. A gallery is only as good as its current show. Two minutes on the website saves a wasted trip between exhibitions.
- Note the curator's name. Good curators have taste you can follow. If you loved the show, look up what else they've put together.
- Ask what's coming next. Gallerists love talking about the next show. It also tells you when to come back.
Good to know

Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Sechelt can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 14 that's closed, or a great art gallery we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
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 14 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.
