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.
