It has long been a tradition at Gallery Gachet to host the annual Oppenheimer Park Community Art Show. This exhibition series began in 2008, on the cusp of a city in fl ux, anticipating the changes, challenges, and losses of a pre-Olympic Vancouver. From the start, the project took shape through open-air, studio-style workshops hosted in one of the hearts of the Downtown Eastside: Oppenheimer Park. During these gatherings, the Gachet team tapped into the park’s communal nature and helped forge a space that encouraged creative exploration and collective expression amid times marked by uncertainty and precarity.

Reception: October 22, 6-9pm
Engaged Journalism Panel: October 22, 5–6pm
Policing and Public Health Panel, November 10, 5–6:30pm
Exhibition open October 23–November 14th, 2025

Featuring James D. Baryluk, Emily R. Blyth, Sam Digges Hunter, Laura Holland, Mo Korchinski, Gwyneth Law, Tyler Lindgren, Makinak Kwe, J. Kevin Mitchell, Christina Sinopoli, Robb Thompson, and Syrus Marcus Ware.

Walk in Gratitude; Write in Empathy coalesces the voices of community members, activists, and researchers to imagine a world beyond police violence, while foregrounding the societal infrastructures that allow such violence to remain rampant.

The Gachet Writers Group is a democratically run inclusive writers group that provides space to share stories, receive feedback from peers, take part in writing exercises, and hold discussions. Each session includes time for stream of consciousness writing. Facilitated by Bruce Ray.

Fridays, 10:00am to Noon at Carnegie Community Centre (until Gachet's renovation is completed), 401 Main St, Vancouver, BC V6A 2T7.

Mondays 2-4pm at Gallery Gachet

Community members are invited to drop-in and participate in an open studio environment with facilitators (Alberta), art materials, and snacks. The facilitation is supportive and there to expand artists' material and conceptual repertoire if desired, or simply there to provide a safe space to create artwork and social connections, on their own terms.

Materials available for participants include pastels, acrylic paint, brushes, felt pens, paper, collage materials, and canvases (dependant on availability).
