ABOUT THE GALLERY
Mónica Reyes Gallery (MRG) has been backing the growth and development of emerging and mid-career artists since 2013. Serving the local and international art scene, MRG promotes artist initiatives invested in shaping the economies of art and culture. Located in the heart of Strathcona for 10 years the gallery has now relocated to new address at 2895 West 33rd Avenue – at the intersection of Mackenzie Street, opened in February 2022. This new location in the very heart of Vancouver's west side, will provide a unique opportunity for the gallery’s roster of artists to connect with a new audience, to present new projects and to participate in curated group exhibitions.
Mónica Reyes Gallery is committed to presenting the work of artists who reflect the diversity of the visual arts community in Vancouver, BC. In particular, we are committed to providing space for artists to present narratives that are often underrepresented in many art galleries. MRG acknowledges it’s role as a commercial gallery in the Vancouver art community and recognizes the importance of continually reflecting on this position in relation to the ongoing impacts of colonialism within our institutional systems. We strive to centre the gallery’s programming around equity, diversity and inclusion and invite our community to engage with us to create a more just and sustainable future for the visual arts.
A project that was inspired by the pandemic and its need to return to the local and foster the community around us, Monica Reyes was one of the founding galleries of a new art fair, called COMBINE. It's purpose is to serve as a platform for new and aspiring art collectors to learn about the West Coast art scene and as an opportunity for seasoned collectors to discover the latest local talents. The predominant concept of collaboration is visible in the make-up of the fair, consisting of five Vancouver galleries and the emphasis of interconnected elements of artists, collectors, galleries, and institutions of this inaugural fair.
MRG's regular exhibition program and special events provide artists with opportunities to show work that includes range of practices from more traditional forms of painting, sculpture and photography to experimental video, durational performance and installation.
We respectfully acknowledge that we live and work on unceded, traditional and ancestral xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territories.
