Xchanges Gallery & Studios

Great space with live drawing sessions, gallery shows, and creative people sharing their art.

Probably one of the oldest artist coops in Canada (49 yrs now), this gallery and studios offers an alternative to typical activities you'll find in Victoria. Watch the website and Facebook for when there are exhibition openings, life drawing sessions or special events. It is definitely off the beaten track and a bit tricky to access so you will feel like you've discovered something different, and you have!

Loved the art.

very talented and welcoming organized life drawing opportunity. The model arrived at the last minute but was ery interesting to work with. The space between myself and the model was,in my opinion, much too close as the room itself is not very large and this time it was packed with 24 people and the bences and chairs which were used by participants. The generous nature of the leaders was expressed through a ticket draw which offered a free session at the location (worth the $10.00 charged) the lighting and plynth for the model was very good and participants were respectful during the entire session and break so I enjoyed meeting others who were there to draw from the undraped figure. If the space were more spacious and the ceiling higher it would have been an excellent evening. Than You.

Nice
