Contemporary Art Gallery — Attraction in Vancouver

If I can give a 0 star, I would. There are only two rooms open. One room with a single display of a mudded hay lion, the other room with a fridge that has 4 bushes of flowers (apparently) bought from a nearby flower shop. There were a few groups of visitors who came in and were quickly confused if they had come to the right place. Someone stood in front of the receptionist/cashier/concierge, deliberately facing her to try to get her attention. But she's comparably deliberate, intentionally fixated her eyes to the computer screen to avoid a question. The pictures here on Google Maps are not the reflection of this place anymore. Those I believe are before the pandemic. Now the business that gets to this situation might be directly damaged by the pandemic. Contemporary art is a hard and fluent business. I hope this business can get itself up from the damage soon to live up to...

They offer free lunchtime tours which are a great way to be introduced to the space. There's also a small bookshop and reference area. Free entry. #cag...
