About

The Gam is a gallery, boutique and artist studio located in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, fronting the artist-only building, ACME studios at 110 E. Hastings St.  The Gam has been a flourishing cultural haven in the DTES since December 1st of 2009. The original intention of the gallery was to create a meeting place for artists to show and create. Through programming exhibitions for emerging artists, chess nights, music performances, theater transformations, animation screenings, potlucks, sound performances, theDrag (perfromance art), art walks, markets, workshops, model drawings, festivals, craft nights, Koban burns and hot toddy and colouring afternoons, this gallery has stayed true to its original intention, however, it has far surpassed the imagination of its four Albertan co-founders. Its link to the community is deep, because it is the community that creates it.

Thanks to everyone who has been apart of the Gam in any shape or form.

The Gam Girls love all.

Co-founders:
Jamie Reid, Julia Kreutz, Jasmine Ohlhauser and Tarah Houge
