SUM GalleryVancouver, BC: “SUM gallery produces, presents and exhibits with a curatorial vision favouring challenging, thought-provoking multidisciplinary work that pushes boundaries and initiates dialogue. We began as Pride in Art, founded by Two-Spirit artist and activist Robbie Hong in 1998. In 2008 Pride in Art mounted the first Queer Arts Festival. In 2018, SUM opened as a permanent space, presenting year-round multidisciplinary exhibitions and events that further the artistic vision of the Queer Arts Festival. SUM brings diverse communities together to support artistic risk-taking, incite creative collaboration and experimentation, and celebrate the rich heritage of queer artists and art.”
