Nanaimo Art Gallery celebrates its 50th Year in 2026. Since 1976, Nanaimo Art Gallery has brought people together through art, creativity, and connection. Built by generations of artists, supporters, volunteers, partners, and community members, the Gallery is a place where people feel welcome, inspired, and connected. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite our community to help shape the next 50 years by becoming part of the Gallery’s future.
