Overview

For over 50 years, Bau-Xi Gallery has been recognized as one of Canada’s most highly regarded art galleries, with a reputation founded on adherence to the highest standards in quality of art as well as service to clients. Bau-Xi Gallery was established in 1965 by Bau-Xi Huang in Vancouver to showcase the many Canadian artists in need of gallery representation on the West Coast. Bau-Xi is the oldest commercial gallery in Vancouver, Bau-Xi has been a member of the Art Dealers Association of Canada since the early 1970s and is a founding member of the South Granville Gallery Association. Today the gallery operates in a purpose-built, light-filled building on Vancouver’s exclusive Granville Street. Early on, Bau-Xi Huang recognized the need to bring his artists to a larger market and to national attention. In 1976 Bau-Xi Gallery expanded its reach, opening a location in Toronto allowing for national representation for his artists in two of Canada’s largest cities. Bau-Xi Toronto is located directly across the street from the Art Gallery of Ontario. Dundas Street West has become an art hub in Toronto, housing some of the cities leading art galleries. For more than forty years the gallery has operated in both Toronto and Vancouver, presenting artists from across Canada through thousands of solo and group exhibitions. In 2001, Bau-Xi continued to reach new goals and acquired Foster/White Gallery in Seattle. Foster/White continues to be recognized as one of the premier fine art galleries in the Pacific Northwest. Foster/White Gallery is located in Pioneer Square and occupies 12000 square feet of an industrial building constructed in 1904. The gallery represents American and Canadian painters, photographers and sculptors. In 2010, Bau-Xi Gallery grew again to open Bau-Xi Photo, creating one of only a few venues in Canada dedicated exclusively to art photography, showing both local and international, new and established talent.
