About grunt gallery

grunt gallery is an artist-run-centre founded in 1984 with a mandate to support the emergence of innovative, collaborative, & provocative contemporary art. Our vision of grunt gallery is a cultural community that upholds art in all its forms, with a mission of advancing artistic innovation through the support of diverse and often unruly ideas, practices and worldviews. We are committed to actively upholding the integrity and inherent value of artists and their work, and continually questioning accepted notions of contemporary art without limitation. We strive to act as an intersection between communities, and to actively disseminate capital – economic, cultural and relational – in the service of a more equitable future. grunt gallery cares for artists’ work in the long-term, and we aim to offer broad accessibility to it over time and across media. grunt gallery is located on the unceded and ancestral territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations, who have lived in kinship with this land, water and air for thousands of years. We recognize and acknowledge their leadership and our own complicity in settler colonialism, its present occupation and its violent legacy. We acknowledge our responsibility to work actively in support of Indigenous sovereignty, and towards a respectful relationship with this place.
