Cost of new Vancouver Art Gallery rises 50% to $600M
The price of building the new Vancouver Art Gallery has risen 50 per cent — from $400 million to $600 million — and the gallery’s CEO says some aspects of the project could be altered or scaled back.
In a statement, the gallery blamed rising construction costs , not just for its project but for all types of construction in Canada.
The statement said future work at the building site — which now sits more or less as a fenced-in hole in the ground at the corner of Cambie and West Georgia streets — will be “decreased” while design revisions are made.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
