Seeing as the Contemporary Art Gallery's aim is to introduce emerging artists to larger audiences, I felt it appropriate to list some artists that are still "red", but who certainly deserve to have their own pages (and will soon hopefully).

I've removed the line "is the only independent, non-profit public art gallery in downtown Vancouver.", as I think this is a dubious claim and sounds to me like it is written by CAG staff (much like the rest of this article, actually). If we are to include the Downtown-East side within the confines of "Downtown" Vancouver, we would have to acknowledge the presence of Centre A on Hastings St. Furthermore, many people would include Vancouver's publicly funded artist-run centres within the auspices of "public gallery". The artist-run Or Gallery still operates within what most would consider downtown Vancouver. Lastly, I wonder to what degree the CAG is more independent than, say, the Vancouver Art Gallery. I believe both organizations saw their origins with the city of Vancouver, and the CAG is still entrusted with the city's art collection. In any case, I think this sentence is hyperbolic and misleading. Leviathanbus (talk) 20:28, 11 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
