Gallery Gachet is a unique artist-run centre located in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Gachet is a collectively-run exhibition and studio space built to empower participants as artists, administrators and curators. The organization’s cultural services have grown from the operation of a small, basement studio in downtown Granville South, offering one exhibition a year in 1993, to co-ordinating approximately 3,000 square feet of public-access arts space with up to 12 exhibitions each year, as well as residencies, workshops, artist talks and events.

We strive to provide a focal point for dialogue amongst outsider/dissident artists. Through artistic means, all of us aim to demystify and challenge issues related to mental health and social marginalization in order to educate the public and promote social and economic justice.
