The Koffler Gallery and our offices have temporarily closed due to COVID-19.

The Natalie Brettschneider Archive

Vancouver artist Carol Sawyer assembles a fiction as truthfully as possible to tell a needed story. Convincingly manufactured photographs and documentary materials imagine the life and work of a genre-blurring, avant-garde artist leaving a fragmentary imprint through Modernism’s exclusionary narrative.

Exploring Issues

We examine complex issues through transformative art experiences that stimulate intercultural dialogue and propel social change.

With a thematic focus on counter-narratives, our year-round Books & Ideas series features authors who use writing and books as tools of resistance.

We present innovative, participatory performance projects that showcase the work of local and international playwrights, directors and performers experimenting with content and form.

Our gallery conversations offer an inclusive platform for the exchange of ideas around social justice and current global concerns, cultivating dialogue across creative disciplines and cultural communities.

Support What We Do

Your support allows us to build and sustain our year-round programs, engaging audiences of all ages and backgrounds in meaningful artistic experiences.

Art

The Koffler Gallery fosters the production of innovative new work that explores ideas of current relevance across artistic disciplines, affirming the power of art to activate social change.

Dialogue

Through our literary programs, performances, talks, and community-based art-making projects, the Koffler facilitates socially-relevant dialogue between artists and the public, carving out space for marginalized voices and transforming how we see the world.

Education

Our socially-engaged Education & Community programs bring together artists, students and local communities through collaborative and participatory, multi-disciplinary arts experiences.
