Access Gallery

Centre A, located in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, has been a pioneering public art gallery since 1999, dedicated to contemporary Asian and Asian-diasporic perspectives. As a registered charity, it engages diverse communities through public access to the arts, fosters mentorship for emerging artists, and stimulates critical dialogue through provocative exhibitions and innovative programs. Founded by Hank Bull and a visionary board, Centre A has collaborated with numerous distinguished artists and continues to impact Vancouver's art scene by supporting the creation of new works, facilitating dynamic exchanges between local and global artists, and contributing to a nuanced understanding of non-European settler identities. The gallery serves as a vital platform for community engagement, cultural productivity, and the contemplation of pressing contemporary issues. Generated from the website
