As a registered non-profit, we are committed to championing the voices of underserved communities through our exhibitions and programming. We work to engage our community through new ideas and perspectives, and create spaces where art is not just seen but truly experienced. We strive to include varied stories that are relevant to our place and time, and offer Deer Lake Gallery as a hub for community connections, education and dialogue, bold exhibitions, performances, and community-driven programs that inspire, challenge, and connect.
