More infoLet's be honest, half the work of a date is finding something to talk about. That Green Ideal: Emily Carr and the Idea of Nature, on the first floor of the Vancouver Art Gallery until November 8, 2026, hands you the topic. Is it worth your time? We think so, especially if you both like to wander slowly and stop when something catches your eye. There's always another painting to look at together, which takes the pressure off. Our take: it's a strong first or second date, because a quiet moment doesn't feel awkward when you're both looking at the same thing. It's indoors, so a wet day doesn't change the plan. Gallery admission applies (the exhibition page lists no extra charge), and anyone 18 and under gets in free. Pick a day before it closes and make it happen.
If you'd like admission sorted before you go, the exhibition page has a Book Tickets button. Head to the first floor and give yourselves about an hour and a half. Our advice: don't race each other to the end. Let one of you set the pace, swap halfway, and say out loud which painting you'd take home if you could.
