The Polygon Gallery (formerly known as the Presentation House Gallery) is an art gallery in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is the largest non-profit photographic gallery in Western Canada and has operated since 1981.[1][2]
Work began on the new gallery in early 2016, which was designed by Patkau Architects.[3] Costing $18 million, the gallery opened to the public on November 18, 2017.[4] The Polygon Gallery consists of 25,000-square-feet of exhibit space across two levels with a café and gift shop.[5]
