Lonely Planet review

Named after BC's most famous historic painter, the institute is well regarded for its visual- and media-arts programs. Housed in a corrugated metal factory building near a cement plant, it has a gritty, angst-worthy vibe that matches that of its young students.

The school presents a range of free exhibits in its three galleries: two showcase the work of the school's up-and-coming students, while the Charles H Scott Gallery hosts shows by professional artists. If you're an art lover, you'll also enjoy the school's excellent arty bookstore.
