This modest, inviting gallery is home to one of the most diverse selections of Native art in Vancouver. Pieces range from baskets to glasswork to textiles, as well as larger items such as totems. Nestled within a busy block on Water Street in Gastown, Coastal Peoples draws in tourists and discriminating buyers from all over the world.
Gastown is home to a handful of Native-inspired galleries but Coastal Peoples specializes in fine art, such as Inuit soapstone sculptures from Cape Dorset and colourful Haida woodcarvings. Serious collectors come here to purchase their favourite artist’s masterpieces but it’s also a beautiful art gallery to browse on a rainy day.
