ACCESS Renovation Project 2022
The Comox Valley Art Gallery endeavours to make its programming and spaces accessible to everyone.
The gallery is undergoing some interior renovation work to widen doorways and to facilitate moving throughout main floor public spaces.
Renovation updates will be posted on Facebook so the community can follow our makeover.
Presentation programming in the gallery will resume in late November.
The Gallery’s HUB and Shop:Made will remain open throughout most of the renovations from 10AM – 5PM, Wednesdays to Saturdays — Noise and activity may cause us to close temporarily. Please watch our Facebook page for updates.
Walk With Me – Comox Valley gatherings and Story Walks will be on October 25, November 15, + November 29 — Registration is required (free) — Learn more here.
The Youth Media Project continues with a new cohort of participants this fall — Learn more here.

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 local artists. CVAG is an independent public gallery run by a non-profit society.
CVAG welcomes everyone to visit and participate in the programs it offers.
All programs are free admission — donations are always welcome.
Gallery spaces are wheelchair accessible.
Gender neutral facilities are available.
CVAG offers headsets for anyone who wishes to use them for presentations that have a sound component.
Living through COVID has made us mindful of the importance of maintaining helpful community health care practices. If you are experiencing symptoms of a communicable illness, we ask that you plan another day for your visit.
The Comox Valley Art Gallery is honoured and privileged to be present on the Unceded Territory of the K’ómoks First Nation. CVAG recognizes the enduring presence of First Nations people on this land.
