The
Old Customs House Gallery in Britannia Beach BC Canada
My paintings can be viewed and purchased online or in person at The
Old Custom's House Gallery. The gallery is situated in Britannia Beach
directly on the Sea To Sky Highway on between Vancouver, and Whistler
BC.
For directions to visit the gallery and hours, please visit our contact
page.
The
entrance to the Old Customs House Gallery is tricky, due to the traffic
island built on the highway. If you are coming from Vancouver you
must turn into Britannia Beach, turn around and go back to the traffic
light. Turn left at the intersection (going south) and go about 100
m and cross
the traintrack. Turn right and follow the water for about 100 m and
you are at the Gallery. You are welcome to park any place next to
the gallery. You can also leave your car on other side of the highway
and walk across the hwy intersection.
The gallery was built in 1917. It is a three story
building. We started re-working the gallery in 2008. The renovation
took us 6 months and did all renovations by ourselves.
Part
of the basement is used for storage of canvases, paintings, paints
etc..my studio is also in the basement where most of the creations
happen,
but sometimes
the basement changes into a dance floor for Halloween Parties.
The
main floor is the gallery, where
paintings are displayed
The
third floor is my favourite part of the building and has been transformed
into a haunted attic. I have been working on the transformation
during the last two years. On Halloween 2012 Express Shaw Tv Whistler
and made a video about Britannia Beach's Haunted Attic.
The Gallery is surrounded by ocean on 3 sides with
backdropped with mountains on all sides. It creates the most amazing
venue for wedding ceremonies . We can accomodate up to 100 people.You
do not have to fly
to the Caribbean to have spectacular wedding photos. You can arrange
the wedding at www.theoldcustomshousegallery.com.
