We’re thrilled to present Victoria’s newest studio and gallery space “The Hourglass”

Developed by VIVAS and Rockslide Gallery, with support from the City of Victoria’s Vacant Storefronts Project, this 8,500 sq ft building is now home to 18 affordable art studios and a beautiful new exhibition space!

We’re hosting our first public event on January 31st, featuring a solo exhibition by David Martinello, with live music by The Allottopes.

Like so many arts spaces in Victoria, this location is destined to be short-lived, as the property slated for redevelopment in the next year or two. But until then, we’ll make the most of it by bringing artists together and adding colour and vibrancy to downtown Victoria!

Stay tuned to for more news and calls to artists.
