The new Vancouver Art Gallery will be...

a purpose-built, architectural landmark for the city of Vancouver in the 150 block of Dunsmuir Street, the former bus depot site adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

On this site located near the intersection of Georgia and Cambie, we’ll be able to create a signature building uniquely suited to our needs….When the site has been confirmed, we’ll launch an international architect selection process, the next important step in realizing a new Vancouver Art Gallery.

The new building will:

  • Include open and public space.
  • Attract tourism dollars and help elevate Vancouver’s international stature.
  • Be a major landmark with economic spinoffs and have an “incubator” effect on the surrounding area.
  • Provide enough space for the Gallery’s long-term growth.
