"Arts education helps develop individuals who bring valuable life skills and work skills to their employment. It also helps develop an awareness of other cultures and thus builds a more open and accepting society."

- Max Wyman, The Defiant Imagination
"Current major forces, both in education and in our society, tend to ignore the value and contribution of art. We must, more than ever, support and encourage the arts in everyday life."

Through our work we ensure the continued excellence of the Artists for Kids program, the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art and our public programming.

Curate

We work alongside Artists for Kids to exhibit within the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art in North Vancouver. Together, we present world-class exhibitions of Canadian art.

Engage

We work to provide interdisciplinary cultural experiences for our audience. We are dedicated to supporting art enrichment for the community that has an impact long after the exhibition ends.
