Looking for a holiday gift that stands out, Victoria?
This holiday season, let art inspire your gift giving and discover something truly unique at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (AGGV).
Whether you’re looking for a gift for an art lover or treating yourself, you’re sure to find something memorable.
Browse one-of-a-kind pieces crafted by local artisans in their Gallery Shop, or even give the gift of an AGGV membership to keep the inspiration going all year.
And don’t miss out on their annual Winter Small Works Show & Sale, running now until January 25th, 2026 in the Massey Sales Gallery. It’s the perfect place to check off your shopping list, featuring beautiful fine art from over 200 local artists.
A must-see in the Shop is Unexpected: The Life and Art of Sophie Pemberton 1869-1959 by Kathryn Bridge, the newly published companion piece to the 2023 AGGV exhibition.
Alongside this highlight, you’ll also find handcrafted pottery, jewellery, woodcraft, prints, textiles, books, puzzles, games, and more.
The Shop is located at the Gallery’s entrance and doesn’t require an entry fee, making it an easy visit.
Once you’ve wrapped up your holiday shopping, check out the incredible AGGV permanent collection display, and current exhibitions:
