Museum-quality Inuit and Northwest Coast art on the North Van Shipyards since 1979, free to walk in, steps from Lonsdale Quay.
Shipyards District, Lower Lonsdale
More infoSince 1979 the Inuit Gallery has shown some of the finest Inuit and Northwest Coast art you'll see outside a museum, and it's completely free to walk in. Now on the North Van Shipyards across from Lonsdale Quay, it pulls you in close over soapstone and argillite that took an artist months, until you're whispering about something neither of you expected to care about. Open seven days.
Lean in close on soapstone and argyllite work that took an artist months, free, hushed, and weirdly intimate, with no admission line and no crowds. It's a calm 45-minute opening act right on the North Van Shipyards, open seven days, which is rare for a gallery this good. From here, graze the Shipyards market, grab a waterfront drink, and watch the SeaBus glide toward the downtown skyline.
