We're excited to announce the first instalment of PARCEL, a digital anthology considering Access Gallery’s place as a cultural venue at the crossroads of multiple histories, neighbourhoods, and waterways. In 2023, we invited artists and writers to consider our layered role as an artist-run centre in Chinatown. Our first offering, a poem by Kitty Cheung (@kitscatastrophe), follows elders through Chinatown’s changing food landscape, lingering in the cash-only cafés that serve as sites of connection.
Access Gallery is excited to announce that we will be hosting our 2025 Members Show & Sale, opening our space to showcase the variety of talents of our community! The exhibition will take place June 12-27th 2025, and is open to submissions from all current Access Gallery members.
Update: Applications are now closed for this position. Please check back later for future opportunities at Access Gallery!

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.
