dawson creek art gallery

The exhibits are displayed in a renovated grain elevator. Several arts and crafts for sale. Interesting.

Do not miss the opportunity to visit this display of wonderful art!! alongside a wonderful town with a variety of authentic Canadian shops. Very friendly town I am so pleased I took the time to visit this art museum which gives you so much history of this First Nation town.

We visited the Dawson Art Gallery in July 2013, and were fortunate to see a show by Nicole Bauberger, a talented artist who painted every 50 miles of the route from locations in Ontario, Canada to Alaska. Every painting is 12"x12" and documents the highway at the specific point where she stops to paint. I really enjoyed seeing her work (although it was interesting that she seldom painted any vehicles on the road). The art gallery is well worth a visit - nice local pieces and reasonable prices. The gallery, by the way, is located in an old grainery.

All round great place to visit. Great place to see local artists and local artisans. The art gallery is an awesome venue for music talent of local musicians.

A lovely art gallery, but even more interesting because of the history of the building. Who'd of thought you could renovate a grain elevator into some this beautiful. They also have a lovely gift shop with great jewelry. By donation - give generously!

The Art Gallary is in an old grain elevator by the old train depot and railroad tracks. It's a fun eclectic collection of local artists and contests. There are some unique items for sale also. I enjoyed the small museum in the old train depot itself. History of the area and the building of the Al-Can Highway. I really enjoyed the film and found out many interesting things behind the construction. It was an incredible feat by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. These buildings are right by Mile Marker 0 of the highway. There is a new monument to Mile Marker 0. The original marker is about two blocks away and a small information center is on the corner there with another film with actual interviews with some of the military workers done several years after construction. Both places are a must to get the history of the Al-Can Highway.The entire downtown area looks like an art galary. Some beautiful buildings and hisotric murals painted on many of the buildings. A fun place to walk around and stop for some refreshment. Dawson Creek is worth spending a day in before actually driving up the highway. We are planning that trip in a few years.

Regional Juried Art Exhibit, showcasing artists from Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Ft Nelson, Tumbler Ridge , Hudson's Hope, and Ft St John. Well worth attending!

We spent several days exploring Dawson Creek, CouchSurfing with locals, and visited the art gallery on a stormy and rainy afternoon in the middle of July. What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be.Lots of local arts displayed and historical information about Dawson Creek. It is a great place to visit if you are not in a big hurry to get somewhere. There is plenty of parking at the huge parking lot. Snap your picture at the Alaska Highway Mile 0 sign at the corner of the parking lot, walk around town a bit, and spend an hour or so at the art gallery. It also has cute gifts made by local artists, if you are into souvenir shopping. Be sure to visit the Old Fashioned Bakery - found in the opposite corner of the huge parking lot. It serves fresh, delightful fresh bread and pastries. Get the zupfe (a Swiss braided milk bread - I almost ate the whole loaf by myself) The bakery is closed on Sunday.

I go to the Dawson Creek Art Gallery at least once a month. It's a beautiful building, the art is always changing and it's a great place for gift shopping. Alana and Melissa are friendly and helpful. We take all our visitors there.
