grunt gallery is an artist-run-centre founded in 1986 with a mandate to support the emergence of innovative, collaborative and provocative contemporary art
grunt gallery was founded in 1984 in Vancouver, BC with the vision to become an internationally renowned artist-run centre and further the practice of contemporary art. Through the exploration of our diverse Canadian cultural identity, we are able to offer public programming in the form of exhibitions, performances, artist talks, publications, and other special projects in the community. Our mandate is to inspire public dialogue by creating an environment conducive to the emergence of innovative, collaborative, and provocative contemporary art.
grunt interprets its history and programming as a variety of initiatives around evolving concepts of community. Our role has been to act as an intersection between various cultural groups based on aesthetics, medium, or identity. Grunt also has a long-term mandate in First Nations contemporary art that is reflected in our programming, our staff, and on our board.
