This summer, Nanaimo is turning up the art… way up.

From July 18 to August 29, Beyond Van Gogh and Beyond Monet are taking over the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, transforming the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet's iconic works into a fully immersive, larger-than-life experience. Presented in partnership with the Nanaimo Museum, the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, and the Port Theatre, this is more than an exhibit; it’s a full-blown artistic moment for the city, and the perfect excuse to experience Nanaimo’s thriving creative scene while you’re here.
