The West Vancouver Art Museum was founded in 1994 and occupies the historic Gertrude Lawson house in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Its permanent collection includes work by B.C. Binning and Gordon A. Smith,[1] and has hosted exhibits by artists including Cornelia Hahn Oberlander[2] and Douglas Coupland.[3][4] It hosts the West Vancouver Modern Week,[5] and in 2010 was home to the project Monster for the 2010 Winter Olympics. For 15 years it was directed by curator Darrin Morrison[6][7] succeeded by Hilary Letwin after his retirement in 2020.[8]
