Community Art Galleries

New Westminster is home to four community art galleries that showcase the creativity and diversity of local artists. These galleries provide welcoming spaces for residents and visitors to experience a wide range of exhibitions, from emerging artists to established professionals.

One of these spaces is the Community Art Gallery at Anvil Centre, which features a changing schedule of exhibitions throughout the year. The gallery presents solo and group shows, as well as special projects that reflect community interests and support the City's commitments to equity, inclusion, truth, and reconciliation.

To strengthen support for local artists and arts programming, the City is partnering with local community arts organizations to coordinate the Community Art Gallery's annual exhibition program. City staff will assist with scheduling, logistics, and events, while these organizations lead exhibition planning and artist engagement. Together, we promote exhibitions and encourage participation from artists and the community.
