We are thrilled to spotlight Wil Aballe, a cornerstone of Vancouver’s vibrant art scene, as it embarks on an exciting new chapter. This contemporary gallery has relocated to Granville Island, one of the city’s most iconic cultural destinations, promising even more dynamic contributions to our creative community.
Firelei Báez’s exhibit in Vancouver is a must-see, weaving cultural narratives and artistic storytelling that resonate deeply. As a Latin American, this exhibit makes me feel seen and inspired. Don’t miss the upcoming Community Art Tour on January 21st and panel discussion on March 8th.
On unattained spacewalks and skirt parachutes: Two exhibitions in North Vancouver have been making us look upwards into the sky and out into Space. We recently organized a gallery hop in North Vancouver with which we visited ‘Cloud Album’ at Polygon Gallery and ‘I wanted to go on a Space
“The Vancouver art ecosystem is built on a delicate balance of interconnected elements: artists, collectors, galleries, and institutions. Each is equally important in the process of nurturing a rich, diverse art scene.” Lisa Baldissera Tania Willard Domestic Markets (from SnowBank & other Investments series), 2020 acrylic mounted photo paper, silk
This fall, we’ve partnered with Hyppiä Homes to celebrate the homes of local emerging collectors, artists and creatives, in hopes to inspire your journey into collecting and living with art. At Curated Tastes, we constantly experience firsthand the benefits and joys that come with acquiring artwork and engaging in conversations

During the past months, we’ve felt psychological comfort and emotional appeasement by engaging with artworks, artists and gallerists. Several spaces in Vancouver felt the same need for conversation and held exhibitions exploring the impact of the pandemic.
CT’s first edition of Vancouver Art Selections, showcasing 12 Vancouver-based artists that have original works available under $500. The selections range from geometric abstract compositions to contemplative narrative landscapes and figurative works with social commentary, in an effort to present a panoramic view as a testament of Vancouver’s cultural diversity. You will find a brief interview under each profile where we hope you will enjoy reading about the artist’s inspirations, interpretations and thoughts on why it is important to live with art.
Last weekend, we grabbed our masks and jumped in an Uber to view three art exhibitions in Strathcona we were eager to see. We encourage you to experience the work on display at Catriona Jeffries, WAAP and Slice of Life in person if you can!

The blast is followed by the 9 o’clock gun explosion (now also synchronized to 7pm) and then, a flood of pot-banging, euphoric yelling, clapping and car horns follow. With it, a quiet and discrete dance of light kindle the concrete chore of the east tower at West Pender Place where light performs before one’s eyes until 11pm. At 10pm when the sun is gone and the backdrop is dark enough, the eight-meter-long horizontal LED lines become red and start mimicking the motion of a heartbeat. Tamar Frank created this heartbeat to honour the continuity of life and the relentless fight that we have proved worldwide against the COVID-19 Pandemic.
