In 2024 Monica Reyes Gallery opened her Gift Shop inside the Museum of Vancouver with the intention of celebrating the artists and artisans that live within our community while creating another source of economics to support their practices and help spread their work to our visitors from all over the world. We take pride in working with makers of all ages and backgrounds, a true reflection of our local social fabric.
