The History of Art and Artists in Vancouver with Gary Sim

Since Vancouver was founded in 1886, its narrative has been captured in drawings, paintings, prints, and photographs but most of the artists and their work have faded from our memory. The Vancouver Historical Society presents artist, print maker, researcher and publisher Gary Sim who will uncover the names and works of the artists who called Vancouver their home or who captured it in passing. Mr. Sim is very familiar with the Vancouver art scene having chronicled 16,000 artists who exhibited throughout BC from the 1700s to today.
