Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at University of British Columbia

The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery’s mandate is to research, exhibit, collect, publish, educate and develop programs in the field of contemporary art and in contemporary approaches to the practice of art history and criticism. The Gallery is not limited to particular media or disciplines. However, we place special emphasis on the areas of the Canadian avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s, the international network developed at the time and its role in the art of today; emerging artists; Vancouver’s post-war art history; practices and projects that challenge the status quo including exhibition concepts initiated by artists. Through a regular program of exhibitions, publications, loans, traveling exhibitions, special projects and exchange programs, the Belkin Art Gallery participates in the national and international community of institutions concerned with contemporary art.
