In 2014, the Dawson Creek Art Gallery was recognized as the northern winner of the Architecture Foundation of BC's best building contest.
This building is utterly unique in concept, design and its cultural value in presenting visual arts in BC. In 1982 the community recognized the value of preserving one of the iconic symbols of Dawson Creek’s agricultural heritage: the prairie grain elevator.
Local architect Jim Rose designed the ramp system that shapes the exhibition space and interior court.
The South Peace Art Society operates the Dawson Creek Art Gallery as an inclusive, creative, cultural centre for all members of the community and the BC Peace Region on behalf of the City of Dawson Creek.
