Arts & Culture
AQUA Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in the Terminal One building on the waterfront in Vancouver. Situated along the Columbia River, the gallery offers a unique aquarium like space where art, environment, and community intersect. AQUA Gallery primarily features local and regional artists that explore themes of culture, geography, discovery, water, and industry—reflecting both the history of the waterfront and the broader narratives that shape the Pacific Northwest. Exhibitions rotate quarterly. In addition to curated exhibitions, AQUA Gallery hosts artist talks that provide deeper insight into the creative process of showcasing artists. The gallery is curated by Sharon Svec, a contract curator and multidisciplinary artist with a background in performance, art, design, and communication. Sharon’s interdisciplinary experience informs the gallery’s programming, fostering exhibitions that are immersive, concept-driven, and thoughtfully constructed.
