Collect, Assemble, Gather explores acts of collecting as both artistic process and everyday ritual. From the gathering of people in shared spaces to the sorting of materials such as seeds, stones, and fabric scraps, the exhibition presents work about assembling meaning, sustenance, and connection through creative and communal acts. 

We gratefully acknowledge The Canada Council for the Arts for their support.

  • Established in 1989 by renowned BC artist patrons Gordon Smith, Jack Shadbolt and Bill Reid, Artists For Kids was founded with the singular intent to support children, their art education, and their future.

    Website + Programs 
  • The Gordon Smith Gallery is a space where education is seen not as an after-thought to curation, but as the purpose of each step we take. The Gordon and Marion Smith Foundation for Young Artists and Artists for Kids work collaboratively to program the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art and the exhibitions.

    Exhibitions 
  • The Gordon and Marion Smith Foundation for Young Artists was founded in 2002 to establish an endowment fund, the interest from which would fund ongoing visual arts enrichment opportunities for the children of British Columbia. The Foundation’s role has evolved to include the presentation of a diverse and accessible range of visual arts programming and the curation of high profile exhibitions at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art.
