These concepts are as diverse as time, memory, family, loss, and the microbial world. At its root, all of the work shares a tendency to observe, romanticize, and fantasize about different aspects of our shared humanity, both it's failings and it's triumphs.THIS Gallery is a brick-and-mortar gallery located in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.

We believe that art is an ESSENTIAL part of our collective well-being—something we need not just to survive, but to thrive. We want artists to keep doing what they do best: bring inquisitiveness, play, beauty, introspection, and joy into the world.About the Artist Salon:The features art professionals leading inspirational artist talks and professional development for visual artists each month from February to November.
