10th Anniversary Gala Highlights

The Bill Reid Gallery commemorated its 10th Anniversary on June 14th 2018 as the only public gallery in Canada dedicated to contemporary Indigenous Northwest Coast art.

Artists, donors, and community supporters came together to celebrate the Indigenous art and cultures of the Northwest Coast and the enduring legacy of Bill Reid. This elegant evening was hosted by CBC Early Edition host, Stephen Quinn and included a performance by Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson and a live auction with the always entertaining auctioneer Man About Town, Fred Lee.

We had a great time at our 10th Anniversary Gala! Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the Gallery. We would love to thank Vancity for being our Gala Presenting Sponsor and CBC Vancouver for being our Media Sponsor!
