Art Gallery in
Canada.
Established in 1971as the Greater Vancouver Artist’s Gallery, the CAG was incorporated in 1976 as a non-profit charitable society. Vancouver artists were hired for six month periods to produce art for exhibition at the gallery, and for inclusion in the City of Vancouver Art Collection. In 1984 the CAG became an artist-run centre. By the early 1990s the exhibition program had expanded to include national and international artists. In 1996 the CAG became the only independent public art gallery in downtown Vancouver. In May 2001, the CAG moved to a new purpose-built facility under the aegis of the City of Vancouver’s Amenity Bonus program in cooperation with Bosa Ventures Inc.
