Tofino Gallery of Contemporary Art

The Tofino Gallery of Contemporary Art is located in the traditional haḥuułi of the Tla-o-qui-aht and Ahousaht peoples, opening its doors in June 2021. Community-minded, we are a small gallery with a big heart, giving voice, space and presence to emerging and established artists in painting, sculpture & photography. We represent artists locally, from Načiks|Tofino and Yuułuʔił|Ucluelet, throughout Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia. The gallery is a Tribal Parks Ally and supporter of several local charities and Indigenous-led initiatives. As a locally-owned and operated business with three full-time employees, our success lies in being a good neighbour and advocate. The gallery stands out for is commitment to promoting awareness of, and appreciation for, arts and culture locally and regionally. As a contemporary art gallery, we feature art forms and mediums that engage locals and visitors alike, different from but complementary to existing Indigenous and Non-Indigenous art galleries, craftspeople and photography ateliers. Rather than competing with larger operations, the gallery serves as a conduit to our coastal arts' communities, fostering awareness of and support for the many artists, arts organizations and galleries that enrich the greater area's exceptional creative hub.
