sfu public art walking tour

Come and experience the Simon Fraser University Public Art Tour.  The SFU collection has over 4,000 works and those listed here are only a small sampling of the approximately 1,400 that are hanging at all of SFU’s campus locations. The tours outlined in the attached file may be followed as separate excursions or connected for a ‘grand tour’ of the SFU Burnaby campus. All of the artwork you will see is from the Simon Fraser University Collection and was acquired by either donation or purchase.

The SFU Gallery in Burnaby is open from 10 to 5 Tuesday to Friday and noon to 5 on Saturdays. Closed on Holiday weekends. It hosts six or seven exhibitions a year, both historical and contemporary, covering the full range of media. Recent exhibitions (in 2006) include Dave Ostrem from Vancouver, Emmanuelle Antille from Switzerland, and an exhibition of vintage Weegee photographs. The Simon Fraser University Gallery serves the SFU community directly by providing an occasional platform for student, staff and faculty work to be shown. Note that the Burnaby gallery is normally closed in July and August. The Teck Gallery at the Vancouver Campus is a small space that is normally used to show work that deals with social and environmental issues. The Teck is open seven days a week.
