Vancouver Art Gallery Tour with Bruce Grenville
Please join us Saturday, April 30th for a special behind the scenes tour of the Vancouver Art Gallery led by senior gallery curator Bruce Grenville. The tour will take CASV members through the Museum Services that support ongoing exhibitions at the VAG and give insight to how a new Vancouver Art Gallery will expand these services and exhibitions program.
