Our public programs encourage audiences to form deeper connections with art from our permanent collection and works on loan. Taking inspiration from our collection of works on paper, special events, and the beauty of Deer Lake Park, Burnaby Art Gallery (BAG) inspires, educates, and engages Greater Vancouver and beyond.
From outreach engagements, curator and artist talks and tours, to virtual programs, such as our Out of the BAG series for families and schools, BAG offers up to 100 programs a year. Our hands-on approach brings together communities, artists and artist’s work.
Discover your creativity at the Burnaby Art Gallery!
