A Centre for Contemporary Art

The Comox Valley Art Gallery is dedicated to presenting and fostering contemporary art by professional artists from the region, the country and beyond. Through our exhibitions, publications, creative residencies and education programs, we link the Comox Valley to the broader world of contemporary art practice. We actively engage the public, draw visitors, and enliven the community through public events, performances, community collaborations, all-ages make art projects, youth training and mentorship programs, and a gift shop that sells the work of hundreds of local artists. CVAG is an independent public gallery run by a non-profit society.

The Comox Valley Art Gallery is grateful to operate on the Unceded Traditional Territory of the K’ómoks First Nations.

Programming is open to the public during CVAG hours: Wednesdays - Saturdays,10:00am – 5:00pm + by appointment. All ages are welcome.

CVAG spaces are accessible, and programs are barrier-free (no cost). Donations are appreciated.

This Cultural Sharing celebration is open to the public to be witness to another level of Indigenous teachings in a traditional setting.
