About

Founded in 1991, Access Gallery is an artist-run centre with a mission to create conditions of emergence for provocative ideas and work in the visual arts. We enable critical conversations and risk taking through new configurations of artists, audience, and community. The organization searches out opportunities to experiment through collaborations (both local and international) that encourage innovation. We aim to bring visibility and critical reception to artists and cultural practitioners when they need it most, often at moments early in their practices, and have offered important exhibition opportunities to many of Canada’s most recognized contemporary artists. Access Gallery is a long-standing member of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres (PAARC). Submission information can be found here.

With gratitude as guests, Access is located on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Access additionally recognizes its location in Vancouver’s Chinatown, an area for the gathering of predominantly Cantonese-speaking Chinese labourers, settlers, and businesses since the nineteenth century. Our gallery borders the site of Hogan’s Alley, an important home to Vancouver’s Black population until their forced displacement through the construction of the Georgia viaduct fifty years ago.

MISSION
As a not-for-profit artist-run centre, Access Gallery is a platform for emergent and experimental art practices. We foster critical dialogue and connection through diverse configurations of audience, artists, and community.

VISION
We envision a community in which critical and responsive artistic interventions create meaningful exchanges, challenge fixed perspectives, and generate new ways of knowing.

VALUES
We value collaboration, experimentation, and equity:

Collaboration:

• Building and sustaining relationships with artists and with the communities around us. 

• Seeking collective knowledge over individual expertise.

Experimentation:

• Creating space for creative risk-taking.

• Developing structures of support for artistic intervention.

Equity:

• Prioritizing inclusive programming, leadership, and audience. 

• Improving accessibility in our exhibitions, physical places, and digital spaces. 

• Resisting colonial systems and ideologies.

• Growing through our relationships; centring understanding.

通路畫廊成立於1991年，是由一群藝術家運營和管理的非營利機構，並一直致力於開拓視覺領域及展視嶄新的意念和藝術作品。成立宗旨透過藝術家，觀眾，和社會群體的交流，促進具批判和冒險性的對話。

畫廊機構更配合了跟本地和國際單位的合作，不斷尋求為探索而就造的機遇。從而它為新晉及資深的加拿大藝術文化工作者們提供了一個能讓彼此表達自我和評述對方的平台。本機構同時也是藝術家管理中心太平洋協會的榮譽會員之一。

通路畫廊地點位於  xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), 與 Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) 原住民族疆域之中。而畫廊設址在的華埠，正是自從十九世紀起一個主要由華人聚居，勞動及從商的地區。

关于我们

通路艺术馆成立于1991年，是由一群艺术家（一位馆长、九位义务董事会成员）运营的非盈利机构，旨在为创新突破的视觉艺术创造展览机会。我们希望通过组建艺术家、观众及社区间的新格局来鼓励艺术创作中的批判与冒险精神；通过积极建立本地或国际间的合作以鼓励实验创新。我们致力于为新晋艺术家和在艺术生涯中迫切需要协助的艺术家及文化工作者提供崭露头角的舞台；同时也展出过许多资深加拿大当代艺术家。通路艺术馆是太平洋艺术家运营中心协会的长期会员。如需查看申请展览的详情，请点这里。

我们的馆址位于xʷməθkwəy̓əm（马斯基姆）, Skwxwú7mesh（史夸米希）, 以及 Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh（兹莱尔-瓦图什）原住民未割让的土地上。作为一个在殖民地上建立的艺术馆，我们是不请自来的客人，并对能够在这里工作心怀感恩。

同时我们也地处于自十九世纪起便聚集了以说粤语为主的华工、移民和商家的温哥华华埠；仅一街之隔则是原黑人聚居地、后因五十年前建造乔治亚高架桥被强行拆除的霍根巷（Hogan’s Alley）。

 

使命

作为一家非营利性的艺术家运营中心，通路艺术馆是新兴、试验性艺术的展示平台。我们希望通过组建艺术家、观众及社区间的新格局来鼓励艺术创作中的批判与冒险精神。

愿景: 在我们憧憬的世界中，引人深思和具批判性的艺术创作能够帮助我们实现深度交流、挑战既定观点和颠覆现有认知。

价值观: 我们注重实验和冒险精神、严谨的交流、无障碍措施、出乎意料的艺术形式、（多方）协同合作和在艺术家最需要的时刻为其提供支持。
