As part of the 2025 Maritime Festival, the Albany Maritime Art Exhibition returns to the Vancouver Arts Centre this July with a captivating display of maritime-inspired artworks.

​

Running from 3 – 28 July, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the ocean’s beauty, power and mystery through the eyes of talented local and regional artists. From crashing waves and coastal life to nautical heritage and deep-sea imagination, this annual exhibition celebrates the spirit of the sea and Albany’s rich maritime culture.

​

The exhibition forms part of the City of Albany’s Maritime Festival, a month-long celebration featuring events, performances, food experiences and family-friendly activities that honour Albany’s coastal identity and connection to the ocean.
