More infoOkay, early dates can be a lot: picking a place, filling the silences, guessing how long it should last. Vancouver Now! Emily Hermant, on the third floor of the Vancouver Art Gallery until November 22, 2026, takes care of most of that. Is it a good early date? We think so. It's one show on one floor, it's indoors, and about an hour and a quarter is long enough to get a feel for someone and short enough to keep it easy. When the conversation pauses, you've got something to look at, which takes the pressure off both of you. General admission covers the show (18 and under get in free), and the gallery is closed Tuesdays. Our take: it's a great second or third date, or a first one for anyone who finds dinner across a table a bit intense.
Book general admission through the gallery's ticketing, linked from the exhibition page, so it's sorted before you meet. Remember the gallery is closed Tuesdays. Head to the third floor and plan on about an hour and a quarter. Walk through together rather than splitting up, and if things go quiet, ask which piece they'd skip and why. It's an easy question, and there's no wrong answer.
