This week, after 25 years at its Granville Street location, Equinox Gallery is moving to a new space on Great Northern Way.
The new space, opened this spring as Equinox Project Space, is now the main venue for the 40-year-old business.
The new 12,000-square-foot gallery—formerly the home of Finning Tractor’s paint and repair shops—is part of a sprawling educational and cultural complex in the Vancouver’s East End.
Equinox director Andy Sylvester told Canadian Art that clients love the new space already: “It’s ambitious and they get the context the bigger space allows—that their collections belong to a larger history in place and time.”
Sylvester’s mood is shared by other Vancouver dealers on Granville Street, as Monte Clark is due to move in next door to Equinox in November.
Equinox’s move is going to be officially celebrated on September 8 with the opening of a major survey of paintings by veteran artist Gordon Smith at the new location.
