Gallery Events

Before and during the Symposium, the Artists of Conscience Galleries showcased work by local, regional and international artists. Produced in partnership with the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria Phantom Galleries Project, these Symposium exhibits brought to the public some of the most poignant issues of our time expressed through art. The Galleries were more than exhibitions spaces - they were a chance to engage in discussion, and thousands took advantage of this unique opportunity.

2006 Gallery exhibits, performances and special events are listed below. Use the map on the GALLERIES page to locate the sites.
