The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery is mandated to promote the understanding and discussion of contemporary art and contemporary issues in art history, criticism and curating. Our mandate is realized through research, exhibitions, acquisitions, publishing, education, and public and academic programs in the field of contemporary art with a focus on our region within a national and international context. Our objective is to demonstrate that the practice of contemporary art is itself a form of research that produces knowledge. The Belkin Art Gallery maintains and manages the University of British Columbia’s growing artwork collection of over 4,500 objects, including the Outdoor Art Collection, and an archives of over 265 linear metres. Works from the archives and artwork collection, with an emphasis on recent acquisitions, are shown on an annual basis at the Belkin and are also activated by a wide variety of users and institutions for research and exhibition.
