The Polygon Gallery

The Polygon Gallery exhibits contemporary art, with a focus on photography, emphasizing contemporary Canadian work within the context of historical and international art.

Operating as Presentation House Gallery for 40 years, the organization presented more than 300 exhibitions and produced award-winning publications, earning a reputation as one of Canada’s most adventurous public art institutions. Some of the most important local and international artists have been featured—from acclaimed Vancouver photographers Stan Douglas and Fred Herzog to world-renowned artists Ansel Adams and Andy Warhol—as well as the work of North Vancouver students participating in innovative education programs, such as Gallery School and Chester Fields.

In its new home, The Polygon Gallery will expand on the organization’s long history of presenting the work of artists who respond to transformations taking place in the world.

Admission by donation.

Hours: Tu–Su: 10 AM–5 PM; M: closed
Note: gallery hours are subject to change; please call to verify hours before visiting.
