Vancouver Art Gallery Offsite is a free outdoor exhibition space beside the Shangri-La Hotel in central Vancouver. Its changing installations bring contemporary art into an open-air setting, with past work including polished stainless steel sculptures by Hank Willis Thomas that explore human emotions. Stop to look closely at the artwork, then read its accompanying text: the explanations can add striking ideas to what you see. Exhibits change several times a year, so the display may be different on a return visit.
Reading the installations
The Offsite is Vancouver Art Gallery’s outdoor installation space beside the Shangri-La Hotel. Exhibitions change several times a year, so the work on view can differ between visits.
Take time to read the text accompanying each installation. It can offer concepts that change how you interpret the work, and the open-air setting also gives you room to pause or take a photo.
