Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art

The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art was established in 2008 by the Bill Reid Foundation and describes itself as the only public gallery in Canada dedicated to contemporary Indigenous Northwest Coast art. It honours Haida master artist Bill Reid (1920–1998).

The gallery shows the Bill Reid SFU Art Collection alongside special exhibitions and programs that connect Indigenous and settler audiences. It is compact, wheelchair accessible and sits on Hornby Street a short walk from the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Burrard and Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain stations, so it pairs easily with the Art Gallery and Pacific Centre on a wet afternoon.
