Mónica Reyes Gallery (MRG) has been backing the growth and development of emerging and mid-career artists at its current location 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, the gallery is uniquely positioned to create dialogues with the artists and cultural engineers who call the neighbourhood home.
Our new outpost, located 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 audiences, to present new projects and to participate in curated group exhibitions
With a commitment to advancing the cultural capital of the city the gallery has since partnered with Pattison to present The Billboard Project (2020-2021), extending the public’s access to local artists and treats viewers to approachable, yet thought-provoking contemporary art on the billboard. Featuring Kathy Slade, Annie Briard, Jack Chapman, Jessica Bushey and Robert Kleyn, during a time when an in-person visit at galleries or museums was less possible due to the pandemic.
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.
Founder and director Mónica Reyes has been a longstanding figure in the Vancouver art scene having served as Vice President of the Contemporary Art Society of Vancouver, the Board of Latincouver. Today she sits on the Board of the Strathcona Board Improvement Assosiation. Reyes is committed to investing in art that gives voice to the cultural diversity of the Pacific Northwest.
MRG's regular exhibition program and special events provide artists with opportunities for artists to show work that includes range of practices from more traditional forms of painting, sculpture and photography to experimental video, durational performance and installation.
