Lattimer Gallery has promoted contemporary Northwest Coast Art since 1986 by offering an exciting and diverse collection. It is our continued commitment to encourage and support the emerging and established artists that we represent. Lattimer Gallery was established in 1986 by Leona Lattimer and her husband, David.
Having spent much of their adult lives travelling throughout British Columbia, Leona and David made strong personal and professional connections with many Northwest Coast Native artists. Leona and David continued to foster these relationships with the artists once they settled in Vancouver. Peter Lattimer, the grandson of Leona and David, took over the family business in 2001.

For the past fourteen years Lattimer Gallery has organized an event to help support the Urban Native Youth Association, a Vancouver organization which has been providing prevention-focused programs and services to Native youth since 1988. UNYA's work includes advocacy, community development, and providing youth with meaningful opportunities to provide input into their programs and services.
Sculpture
Report
This section presents a wide variety of unique works that reflect both traditional forms and contemporary creations. For your walls, we offer everything from striking cedar panels to carved paddles. Our vases, bowls, and distinctive vessels are perfect for the coffee table or desk. And our model totem poles, maskettes, and talking sticks are very popular amongst both locals and those living abroad.
Prints
Report
Screen prints became a popular medium in the Northwest Coast market in the mid-1970s. Programs were offered during the early years at the Gitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Art in Hazelton, and the Northwest Coast Artists Guild Series of prints was released in 1977, which enabled established artists to market their prints in a formal fashion.
Inuit
Report
From dancing bears to inuksuit, the Indigenous peoples of the Canadian Arctic have been carving soapstone and serpentine sculptures for decades. As a reflection of life in the North, much Inuit art depicts the animals that call the Arctic home, such as owls, seals, and whales. All of our Inuit art is fairly traded through Government of Nunavut affiliates.
Books
Report
There is a great deal to learn about Native art and jewellery from the West Coast. From animal symbolism to bentwood box construction, Lattimer Gallery carries a variety of books that describe the many facets of Northwest Coast culture. Some of the books we offer are catalogues, and some are children's books, but the majority are reference tools.
