Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

Since 2010, the Karen Cooper Gallery has resided on historic Granville Island, Vancouver's premiere art and artisan district. The gallery invites all to reflect on the mosaic of elegant landscapes and wildlife which portray British Columbia's diverse and luxurious natural beauty. As an artwork which occupies space, these landscapes eternally preserve our endless sense of wonder toward the complexity of the natural world. The gallery combines the timeless desire for exploration with fine art practices to produce an immersive visual narrative of the ever-changing wilderness. The Karen Cooper Gallery is where one can find a moment to connect with and reflect on the grandeur of the local natural world.

A beautiful Gallery and Studio with very engaging artwork. There are landscape based and abstract paintings that capture the colour and energy of the coastal and urban experience and compelling mixed media figurative works. A welcoming gallery and fun to meet the artist at work.

I have purchased high quality paintings here for reasonable process. I recommend attending, sharing on social media (promoting) and investing in local Canadian Art. It is of the highest quality and from the purest of heart. These artists are so proud of Canada and it shows in their work. An excellent place to buy art.

Specializing in original stone sculpture, Ukama Gallery on Granville Island represents over 200 highly skilled emerging and world-renowned artists from Zimbabwe. Working with local partners, each unique work of art is personally selected with an eye towards capturing the remarkable variety of styles that flourish in an artistic community that ranges across the country, from well-established artist communities and co-operatives, to the many hard-to-reach rural areas. In this way, the Ukama Gallery collection is curated to convey a real sense of the important contribution that Zimbabwean sculptors are making to modern art. Complementing the sculpture are paintings and mixed media works from outstanding local Canadian artists. The combination of expressive and imaginative artwork adds colour and texture to the very tactile impression of the sculpture. Side by side, these complementary art forms have something to say about the essence of the human artistic instinct and experience.
The Ukama Gallery was a treat. It held the works of Candian contemporary artists' work as well as a focus on Zimbabwe sculptors. The sculptures were intriguing. Our reception at the gallery was professional, and everyone working there was very pleasant. This is a don't miss place.
