Its permanent collection includes work by B.C. Binning and Gordon A. Smith,[1] and has hosted exhibits by artists including Cornelia Hahn Oberlander[2] and Douglas Coupland.[3][4] It hosts the West Vancouver Modern Week,[5] and in 2010 was home to the project Monster for the 2010 Winter Olympics. For 15 years it was directed by curator Darrin Morrison[6][7] succeeded by Hilary Letwin after his retirement in 2020.[8]
