Yukon Arts Centre Gallery
Tourism Region: Yukon
The Yukon Arts Centre Public Art Gallery is open year round and hosts ten to fourteen exhibitions a year, often two or three running concurrently. We are committed to excellence in the visual arts and to bringing innovative exhibitions that explore the rich diversity of contemporary art from local, regional, national and international perspectives. We show the works of professional Yukon artists, while bringing exhibitions of national importance to the Yukon.
