About Art Gallery Of Greater Victoria

Overview

Mission

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria exists to connect people and art in order to build a better understanding of the world. Its core purpose is to serve as an accessible gathering place where diverse audiences can experience art through exhibitions, programs, and other media, creating spaces for conversation and learning while responsibly stewarding its collections for future generations.

Unique value proposition

The AGGV stands apart as the steward of British Columbia's largest public art collection, including a world-class Asian art collection assembled over nearly seven decades of collecting across the Pacific Rim. It combines this exceptional collection with a commitment to genuine accessibility — offering free admission programs, need-based bursaries for studio education, and programming for special needs groups — all within an intimate, heritage setting that lowers barriers for audiences who might otherwise feel excluded from the art world. Its flagship Paint-In festival, Vancouver Island's largest summer arts event, further distinguishes the AGGV as the region's central hub for visual arts community engagement and celebration of local artists.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and matching charities are automatically surfaced.

What does it cost?

WellFunded charges philanthropists today. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. There will always be a free tier.
