Art Collection Database

Quick Search

Welcome to the Burnaby Art Gallery searchable online database! The Burnaby Art Gallery collection is largely made up of works on paper (particularly prints on paper) by Canadian artists. Special consideration is given to the acquisition of multiples (e.g. original prints); or of works distinctly relevant to the citizens of Burnaby. Original hand-pulled prints comprise 80 % of the collection, 10% are drawings and collages, and 10% are paintings and objects.
