Public Open House – AGGV’s 80th Birthday

This October marks the 80th anniversary of the first meeting of the Vancouver Island chapter of the Canadian Federation of Artists, a historical date long considered the Gallery’s birth date. It was this small but dedicated group that evolved into the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

Please join us for refreshments and explore our current exhibitions in celebration of the Gallery’s birthday. As a special treat to mark this important occasion, we will be displaying select works from our collection in the Spencer Mansion!

Admission is free, thanks to our Feel Free program sponsored by TD Bank Group.
