We’re excited to welcome four artists and collectives to the NOW, NEVER residency at Access Gallery. Through the month of October 2024, residents will occupy and redeploy the gallery space as a site for collective care and urgent social practice. It’s our pleasure to introduce this year’s residency cohort: Sidi Chen, Rawan Hassan, Alex Gibson, and Holding Ground.
With spooky season just around the corner, Get Ghosted is back! We knocked on a few crypts and gathered 7 wonderful artists and illustrators to create custom, ghostly portraits of you and your friends.
Access Gallery is pleased to introduce our new Artistic Director Kitt Peacock and Operations Manager Karen Thảo La!

Dear Friends & Members of Access Gallery,
Access Gallery is bidding farewell to Director & Curator Katie Belcher. It’s a bittersweet moment for us; we’re very sad to see her go after six years of committed service, but we’re excited to cheer her on as she continues to build her practice as an independent curator and visual artist.
Access Gallery denounces the ongoing brutalization of Palestinians by Israel. We stand firmly against all forms of racism, anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, and anti-Semitic violence, and call for critical attention, awareness, and action against this ongoing colonial violence.
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be hosting a smaller fundraiser concurrent to Night Howl throughout the month of October. Four board members will open limited spots to digitally illustrate you… as a ghost!

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and taking into consideration BC’s public health measures, we are keeping a policy where masks are encouraged at the gallery.
The word “plot” describes a small parcel of land, designated for a specific purpose. It refers to a sequence of events that drives a story. To “plot” can mean to chart one’s position, as on a map, or to devise a secret plan or scheme. Read more about PLOT here.
In light of the ongoing prevalence of COVID-19 and taking into consideration BC's public health measures, and the end of the worst of the flu season, we are moving to a policy where masks are encouraged at the gallery, rather than mandatory.
In light of the ongoing risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent new variants, and taking into consideration BC's public health measures, the Staff and the Board of Access Gallery have discussed our concerns and decided to continue our slow approach to our organizational health measures through the spring.
