We discovered Bill Reid's work at the Museum of Anthropology and made a point of going directly to the Bill Reid Gallery afterwards. His art and craftsmanship alone are compelling. Learning about his life and impact on northwest arts was deeply moving, and reading about the works displayed at the gallery was as educational as it was inspiring.

In a word Legendary .This man found his craft when he was 28. He discovered his hertitage and brought international acclaim to the art and culture of the west coast. The museum is packed with one master piece after another. His many disciplines are exhibited. Jewelery , totem carvings, mask making and more. Stop to see the Galaxy necklace. The birth of man , spirit of Haida.

Rezerection Gallery
March 02, 2014I went to this gallery to see the RezErection gallery that they had, it was pretty interesting. The gallery itself is small, with the two floors. But it has a wide range of art, history of Bill Reid. Also a gift shop.
