The Grove Gallery
The Grove Art Gallery is now closed indefinitely.
The Alberni Arts Council is going through big changes. One of those is the closing of the Grove Gallery, to give ourselves more time and resources for the next stage in our growth. We will be doing a ‘Strategic Plan’ in 2026, and if you’d like to be kept in the loop on what we are planning, please join our mailing list.
Thank you for your continued support through this big change – and thank you for supporting the arts in the Alberni Valley.
The doors are closed, but we are still here! Feel free to say hi and shop our clearout items for sale. We will see you for our next event, the Family Arts Festival!
