The Polygon Gallery maps out its 2026 programming

The Polygon Gallery in Vancouver has announced its 2026 exhibition schedule, featuring a diverse lineup of solo and group shows. The year's programming is anchored by photography but includes sculpture, installation, and beadwork, with a strong focus on local and Indigenous artists. Highlights include a major solo show by Tania Willard, a career retrospective for photographer Greg Girard, a two-person exhibition with Jeneen Frei Njootli and Catherine Blackburn, and the return of the Lind Biennial.

The schedule underscores the gallery's commitment to platforming established and emerging artists from its regional context, particularly Indigenous practitioners. It emphasizes themes of place, memory, and materiality, positioning the gallery as a key institution for examining photography's colonial history and contemporary artistic responses. The inclusion of the Lind Biennial and the Philip B. Lind Emerging Artist Prize further highlights its role in supporting and recognizing new artistic talent in Canada.
