Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery
The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery promotes understanding and discussion of contemporary art and ideas through its curated exhibitions, programs, publications, special projects and loans from its collection and archive. Since its inception in 1948 as the UBC Fine Arts Gallery, the Belkin has offered artists and communities space to discuss, engage and respond critically to the present. We believe that art is a form of research that produces knowledge, bringing local, national and international perspectives to the role that art can play in fostering civil societies. Admission is always free and everyone is welcome.
