Vancouver’s relationship with nature takes center stage at SANCTUARY: The Ancient Forest Experience, opening May 14, 2026, at the Vancouver Art Gallery. This immersive 360-degree installation transports visitors into the atmosphere of British Columbia’s ancient forests, offering a memorable local experience for residents and visitors alike.
The exhibition invites audiences to look beyond the beauty of these landscapes and consider their deeper ecological, cultural, and spiritual significance. Through an enveloping visual and sensory environment, SANCTUARY encourages reflection on the forests that shape the identity, climate, and communities of British Columbia.
For Vancouver residents, the experience is an ideal addition to a city day out. Plan time to visit the gallery, explore the surrounding downtown neighbourhood, and continue the conversation over coffee or a walk through one of the city’s nearby public spaces. It is a thoughtful way to connect art, place, and the natural environment we call home.
SANCTUARY runs at the Vancouver Art Gallery from May 14, 2026, through January 10, 2027. Learn more and plan your visit at https://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca/exhibitions/future-geographies-sanctuary/
