Artspeak

Artspeak is an artist-run-centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was founded by Cate Rimmer and Kay Higgins as a part-time gallery within the Kootenay School of Writing at the invitation of Jeff Derksen, the Kootenay School director. The first board of directors included Jeff Wall, Rodney Graham, Kati Campbell, Robert Sherrin, and Donna Zapf. The gallery's original mandate was "[t]o exhibit contemporary art and to encourage a dialogue between visual art and writing. Of particular interest is work that crosses the boundaries between the two disciplines, exploring their common areas of praxis."

Exhibitions
Artspeak's inaugural exhibition was "Invisible Cities", a solo exhibition of Donna Leisen.
