Vancouver is a city shaped by its relationship with nature, from forested neighbourhoods and ocean views to the mountains that frame everyday life. This February, the Vancouver Art Gallery invites locals to explore that connection through That Green Ideal: Emily Carr and the Idea of Nature, opening February 6, 2026.
Running through November 8, 2026, the exhibition features more than 100 works and marks the Gallery’s largest Emily Carr exhibition in more than 20 years. It examines Carr’s evolving relationship with British Columbia’s landscape and the many ways ideas of nature influenced her work, perspective, and artistic legacy.
For Vancouver residents, this is more than a gallery visit—it is an opportunity to look at familiar surroundings with fresh eyes. After exploring the exhibition, take a walk through the neighbourhood, stop for coffee, or share your thoughts about the places and landscapes that make Vancouver feel like home.
