Welcome to the Comox Valley Art Gallery!
Mandate:
The Comox Valley Art Gallery is a regional public art gallery serving the communities of the Comox Valley. CVAG is dedicated to fostering and presenting contemporary art by emerging and professional artists, and to connecting the Comox Valley to the broader world of contemporary art practice.
Vision:
The Comox Valley Art Gallery boldly amplifies the transformative power of art to provoke, inspire and impact our community and the world.
We are a nexus, linking community with each other, and to the broader world, through art, story and shared experiences.
We cultivate understanding about the context, meaning, and purpose of contemporary art as a social practice that reflects and responds to the issues of our time.
We witness and celebrate the fullness of human experience, identity, and the life journey.
We uphold integrity and excellence and provide leadership for an organizational culture of respect, curiosity and empathy.
