Libby Leshgold Gallery
Corporate body · 1980-

The Libby Leshgold Gallery is a public art gallery dedicated to the presentation of contemporary art. Located within Emily Carr University of Art + Design on Great Northern Way, the Gallery serves a broad and varied community that includes the students, faculty and staff of the University, the arts community, the public of Greater Vancouver, and visitors from around the world.

Previously the Charles H. Scott Gallery, named for the first principal of the Vancouver School of Art (now the Emily Carr University of Art + Design), the gallery became the Libby Leshgold Gallery in the Fall of 2017 when the school moved to the Great Northern Way Campus. The Gallery was opened in 1980 when the University relocated to its previous location on Granville Island.
Since its inception, the Libby Leshgold Gallery has operated as a public gallery with professional museum standards. It has made a significant contribution to the presentation and analysis of contemporary art in Canada. As well, throughout its history the Gallery has functioned as a teaching gallery where students can learn professional curatorial and exhibition practices.
