2:00 PM to 3:00 PM

With this exhibition, the AGGV is now the premiere destination on Vancouver Island to visit and learn about Emily Carr through her paintings. On the Edge of Nowhere will include an historical survey of Carr�s artistic career, featuring pieces in all the media and styles she explored and perfected. It will also focus on Carr�s influences and inspirations, such as European modern art, members of the Group of Seven artists, First Nations artists, Carr�s spirituality, and her interest in developing an art that speaks of her personal experience and her connection to the West Coast landscape.

Exhibition tours led by experienced Gallery Docents occur weekly, on Saturday and Sunday, plus the first Tuesday and last Thursday of the month. Tours are a great way to learn about art history, put our exhibitions into context, and delve deeper into the themes being presented. Included with Gallery admission or free with membership.
