★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located in a quiet neighborhood, this gallery+museum is certainly a pleasure to visit. Great place to learn about local artists and their works. Miscellaneous collections of handcrafts. Also many pieces from Asian countries. Good opportunity for local people to get a glimpse of the history of the far East. The space is well organized, with clear visiting route. The staff is friendly and helpful.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The display of Emily Carr along with other artist's work inspired by her work was an interesting display. Exhibiting the works this way gives contrasts & comparisons, showing how visions evolve.
The "blue & white" exhibit shows the use of those colours in fabric, ceramics, etc.
The dollhouse, which has been shown in the gallery for so many years is a treasure to explore; details of woodworking & craftsmanship are admirable.
The display of small works for sale is a great way to see the variety of local artist's work which is available to either rent or purchase.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Joined as a member a few years ago to enjoy the diversity of their curated exhibitions. One of the most soothing places in Victoria to contemplate our hectic world and appreciate the beauty of art and what it can reveal. An amazing location to enjoy art and a stroll in the Japanese garden is a worthwhile addition to any trip.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Enjoyed my visit and reasonable entrance fee - it's larger than I expected. I spent about 45-60 minutes going through all the exhibits. Quick bus ride from downtown.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Totally enjoyed our visit. The Emily Carr and the "blue and white" displays were quite interesting. The other fine collections in the gallery were also fascinating. The staffs were very nice. We had a pleasant chat with an enthusiastic curator who told us a lot about the elegant house at the gallery as part of the collection.
