Art galleries in Vancouver
Vancouver, BC has 56 art galleries on the map. That's 56 galleries mapped around Vancouver. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Many are free to enter, so the only cost of a gallery afternoon is your time.
This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Vancouver (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Richmond Art Gallery and Burnaby Art Gallery, plus Bau-Xi Gallery. If a gallery's missing from Vancouver's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Gallery tips for Vancouver
Gallery-going in Vancouver? A few habits help:
- Take the long way through at Richmond Art Gallery. Galleries reward slow looking. One extra lap always reveals something the first pass missed.
- Ask about the price list at Burnaby Art Gallery. It's normal to ask, even if you're not buying. It tells you how the market values the work.
- Buy the catalogue. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
- Kids are welcome (usually). Most galleries are fine with children; the contemporary ones especially. Call ahead if you're unsure.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Vancouver — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Vancouver can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 56 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 56 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.
Art gallery listings for Vancouver: 56 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
