Description

The James Black Gallery is a queer led arts and culture hub dedicated to giving a voice to emerging artists in Vancouver, providing space for community engagement, and experimental multidisciplinary art practices. We offer studio and gallery space with a focus on remaining responsive to the ever-shifting needs of our community. The JBG presents exhibitions of local and international artists, provides studio space to members of our collective, and hosts interdisciplinary events. We currently run a pod residency series for local artists who are given the opportunity to engage with the public through a solo exhibition of the works produced during their stay. The JBG has been operating collectively since December 2014 in a heritage building (est. 1889).
