Exhibitions

The Library recognizes that the arts are a distinguishing characteristic of our community’s identity. To support our community’s creative talents, we offer spaces that showcase local artists in a setting that invites connection and reflection. 

Our Art Gallery is a canvas for established and emerging artists who work in an exciting range of styles and media. Come experience this month’s exhibit and discover a new artist, perspective, and source of pleasure. Works are on display on the Main Floor.

In addition to our monthly exhibitions, over the years the Library has acquired a collection of fine art. Selected pieces are on display in the Library.

West Vancouver Art Museum School Programs
Found Plastic and Charcoal Landscapes

February 16  – March 29

The West Vancouver Memorial Library has partnered with the West Vancouver Art Museum to showcase artworks by students from Chartwell Elementary School.

This exhibition features works by grade 5, 6, and 7 student artists. The Found Plastics Photography Project features life-sized photographs of the students’ collages made from salvaged plastic litter, bringing awareness to issues of plastic waste and environmental conservancy. The Charcoal Landscapes project explores the health of our local forests by using charcoal to create landscape drawings of nearby woods.

This school program was led by West Vancouver Art Museum’s Education Coordinator in partnership with Chartwell Elementary School.
