We offer: open calls for art submissions to artists in our region and beyond; externally juried art shows and sales in a gallery setting; show opening events, featured artist talks, and discussion forums; weekly drop-in art sessions; art workshops, resource networks and learning opportunities. Art drop-in sessions are held during the week, and the gallery is open Fri -Sun, 11-4. We are located in a rural village, surrounded by cafes, a micro-brewery, artist studios, historic sites, and many farms, parks and trails. So many options for art lovers… Well worth a visit!

This is a lovely gallery. It has a variety of art works, pottery, paintings and sculptures. It also has plenty of free parking. I attended an art workshop on Cyanotypes. It was well organized, really interesting and lots of fun! I will definitely go again.

Metchosin Art Pod is a well designed gallery at street level with ample parking. The volunteers are very welcoming and the curatorial team always take great care to showcase each of the pieces in a group exhibit. I am pleased to be a participating artist in the current exhibit, STILL life: art to seize the moment.
It's a great day trip, only 35 minutes west of Victoria and there is a coffee shop in the next building and a restaurant across the street.

A wonderful community art gallery with thought-provoking exhibits that are rotated between member shows and juried shows, as well as opportunities to make art. A great place for artists and art lovers!
