Our History

The Gallery was founded in 1976 as the Madrona Exposition Centre by a group of dedicated faculty at Malaspina College, now Vancouver Island University. Nanaimo Art Gallery operated the purpose-built gallery on campus until May 2015, when we amalgamated at our downtown location at 150 Commercial Street.

Our Social Community

Engage in hands-on art-making activities and experiment with a variety of techniques in classroom sessions delivered by professional artists.
