Summary
Step into the vibrant art world of Expo 86 with Surrey Art Gallery’s groundbreaking exhibit “In The Shadow of the Pavilions.” Forty years after the world’s fair drew over 20 million visitors and put Vancouver on the global stage, this is the first deep dive into the official and unofficial art that defined the moment. Featuring work from 35+ artists across mediums—from paintings and photos to installations and videos—this show explores themes of communication, urban growth, and Indigenous rights, all pulsing with the energy of 1986. While Expo 67 gets most of the art history love, this exhibit aims to give Expo 86 its due, revealing how artists helped shape the city’s centennial. Free and running daily until June 7—don’t miss this chance to see history through the lens of creativity. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
