2005 was another stellar year for the Vancouver Art Gallery, marked by
progressive exhibitions, dynamic programming, record-breaking admissions
and a 39% increase in membership, from 12,900 to more than 17,000 members
in Canada and around the world. An exponential endowment increase, from
$200,000 to $5 million in only four years, is indicative of the unprecedented
growth the Gallery continues to experience. Of no small importance is the
realization of our twentieth consecutive deficit-free year.
Another realized milestone in 2005 is the completion of the Vancouver
Art Gallery’s Master Planning initiative. The Board of Trustees is now reviewing
the feasibility and desirability of other sites in the downtown area suitable for a major facility expansion.
If approved, an expansion of the Vancouver Art Gallery would provide the City of Vancouver with a visual
arts institution that matches the ambitions and growing international stature of our community. A larger
facility would enable us to continue to foster and showcase the work of British Columbia’s extraordinary
artistic community through groundbreaking exhibitions and international tours, while allowing the
Gallery to bring even more prestigious exhibitions to Vancouver, a current challenge due to space and
environmental considerations. An enhanced facility would also allow us to expand the availability of
educational and free outreach programs for millions of Canadian children, families and adults in the next
25 years and beyond, while further elevating Vancouver’s international status as a key cultural centre with
connections to the Asia Pacific arena and the rest of the world.
Regardless of the final decision, the Vancouver Art Gallery is, and always will be, a signature
institution in our city. It is our hope that its new home, whether through renovation of the current Robson
Square location or through construction of a new facility, be equally significant and powerful in design
and scope, giving the City of Vancouver an instantly recognizable visual landmark not unlike those found
in other major cities around the world. As British Columbia solidifies its role as an economic and cultural
Pacific Rim powerhouse, the Vancouver Art Gallery must continue to reflect the highest standards of this
diverse and vibrant region.
I would like to personally thank Kathleen Bartels for five consecutive years of dynamic leadership.
Her vision and artistic direction have not only elevated the Gallery to international status, individual,
foundation and corporate gifts have doubled during her tenure, from $532,736 in 2001 to more than $1
million in 2005 with projected gift revenue of $1.65 million in 2006. Gallery admissions income is also
projected to double over 2001, with more than $2 million in attendance revenue projected for 2006.
I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation to each member of our Board of Trustees,
who devoted countless hours to ensuring the Gallery’s success, as well as to the Board’s Real Estate
Committee for Facility Expansion, ably chaired by Michael Audain. Our thanks also to the many dedicated
staff, volunteers, members and other supporters who have made so many achievements possible. In our
74th year, we had much to be proud of, and I am certain that an even brighter future lies ahead.

message from the director
The Vancouver Art Gallery is a reflection of the creative energy, artistic
excellence and progressive style that Vancouver is known for around the
globe. As we look with satisfaction at the year gone by, we also look forward
to the continued expansion of our role as a visual arts leader and dynamic
force within this remarkable community.
In many ways, 2005 was a year without boundaries for the Vancouver Art

Gallery; an unprecedented twelve-month period of expansion in exhibitions,
programming and collections. Through the tremendous generosity of Gallery
supporters, more than 100 artworks were acquired in 2005, bringing the
collection’s value to more than $115 million, including major gifts such as Diane
Arbus’ captivating photo Burlesque comedienne in her dressing room, Atlantic
City, New Jersey, 1963 and Richard Hamilton’s Picasso au Château, 1978-1979.
Fuse, a new, progressive event held every fourth Friday evening, raised the bar for adult programming,
attracting more than 5,000 new Gallery visitors between July and November. Our 74th year also brought
extraordinary achievement in the form of the Gallery’s first international exhibition presentation in
New York. The landmark Brian Jungen exhibition premiered at the New Museum of Contemporary Art,
garnering tremendous popular and critical acclaim.
Appropriately, our 2005 exhibition program began with presentation of a provocative photo-
based acquisition. Real Pictures: Photographs from the Collection of Claudia Beck and Andrew Gruft
showcased the historic evolution of photography from the late 19th century to the present through more
than 460 exceptional photographic images. The genius of Vancouver’s own Rodney Graham found form
in Rodney Graham: A Little Thought, the first in a year-long series of stellar contemporary exhibitions,
including Body: New Art from the UK, Wang Du, Theodore Wan, Franz West and Classified Materials:
Accumulations, Archives, Artists. Finally, the Gallery was very proud to present the work of two of
history’s greatest talents with Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession, Sculpture from the Iris and B. Gerald
Cantor Foundation and Protean Picasso: Drawings and Prints from the National Gallery of Canada and
Selected Paintings from International Collections.
Expansion was not limited to the Vancouver Art Gallery’s artistic practice. In the purely physical
sense, the Gallery “stretched” to fill Robson Square through an ambitious exterior re-branding campaign,
including kiosk signage, signature Gallery red banners and a new Hornby entrance awning, all indicative
of the expansive changes within. In its 74th year, the Vancouver Art Gallery lay poised at the brink of one of the most important
periods in our history. We continue to lay the groundwork for a dynamic future that promises a grand
celebration and a reaffirmation of our importance to this city, province and country through facility
expansion. All of this would not be possible without the vision, dedicated support and continued
partnership of our Board of Trustees, members, volunteers, generous donors, artists and staff. I hope you
share our pride in this amazingly successful year. Kathleen S. Bartels

Materials: Accumulations, Archives, Artists
The Vancouver Art Gallery’s expansive series of 2005 exhibitions garnered
critical attention and drew unprecedented crowds. The year began with
Real Pictures: Photographs from the Collection of Claudia Beck and Andrew
Gruft, an exhibition presenting the recently acquired Beck/Gruft collection
and recognizing two of the city’s most passionate collectors of photography.
In February, the Gallery launched an exhibition that celebrated a tremendous
local talent: Rodney Graham: A Little Thought, a survey of one of Vancouver’s
most internationally renowned contemporary artists.
The popular appeal of Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession, Sculpture from
the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation drew nearly 90,000 summer
visitors to the Gallery. The seminal French sculptor’s work was thematically
contextualized with great depth in a suite of four summer contemporary
shows focusing on the human body. These included Body: New Art from
the UK, a group exhibition of British artists distinguished for their novel
engagements with perceptions of the body, and three solo exhibitions,
including the visceral critique of mediated bodies by Paris-based sculptor
Wang Du, the absurdly humorous creations of Viennese artist Franz West
and a retrospective of Canadian artist Theodore Wan, who used a conceptual
photographic approach to comment on the body.
In the fall, collecting practices coalesced with innovative presentation in
Classified Materials: Accumulations, Archives, Artists, which combined
loaned works by prominent contemporary artists from Asia, Europe, the
Middle East and the Americas with an extensive selection of works from the
permanent collection. The exhibition provided a contemporary complement
to Protean Picasso: Drawings and Prints from the National Gallery of Canada
and Selected Paintings from International Collections, which drew nearly
80,000 visitors to the Gallery between October and January 2006. Protean
Picasso, featuring the largest number of Picasso paintings ever to be shown
in Vancouver, attracted record winter attendance.
Two dynamic NEXT projects were presented in 2005, including Jason McLean’s
The Sky is Falling, which spanned the Gallery’s lobby ceiling with a head-spinning
medley of drawings, and Neil Campbell’s rhythmic pulsating light installation
BASE (MACHINE) enlivened the Georgia Street exterior building facade.

Photographs from the
Collection of Claudia Beck
and Andrew Gruft
January 29–May 29, 2005
Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery
Curated by Grant Arnold, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art,
Vancouver Art Gallery
Real Pictures featured an outstanding collection of photographs donated to
the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2004 by collectors Claudia Beck and Andrew
Gruft. Dedicated collectors and art enthusiasts, Beck and Gruft have a longstanding commitment to historical, modern and contemporary photography and have built an incomparable collection over the past three decades.
The collection encompasses work by canonical figures from the history of
photography, an extensive body of work by photographers who worked
in western Canada in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as
contemporary works by Vancouver artists. This overview of an exceptional
local collection placed emphasis on photography’s indexical and descriptive
properties and how these have influenced the different notions of realism
that have emerged in the past century.

Rodney Graham:
A Little Thought
February 5–May 8, 2005
Jointly organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Ontario
and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
Curated by Grant Arnold, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art, Vancouver
Art Gallery; Jessica Bradley, Adjunct Curator, Art Gallery of Ontario; Connie
Butler, Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
Rodney Graham: A Little Thought was a mid-career retrospective of the
work of Vancouver-based artist Rodney Graham, one of the most celebrated
and distinctive artists working today. For nearly three decades, Graham’s
work has engaged an intriguing variety of media and subject matter, inventing
new approaches to landscape, literature and sound. Rodney Graham: A
Little Thought focused on Graham’s video and film work, from the projection
events of the 1970s through recent costume dramas in which the artist
emerges as an absurdist entertainer caught in his own circular narratives.
Also represented were photographs, sculptural and audio works that demonstrate
Graham’s masterful use of genres, from minimalism to film noir, James Bond to
Charlie Chaplin. Beautifully produced and fascinatingly complex, Graham’s works
are among the most compelling art being made today. Rodney Graham was
generously supported by the Audain Foundation.

NEXT: Jason McLean
May 28, 2005–February 15, 2006
Curated by Daina Augaitis, Chief Curator/Associate Director, Vancouver
Art Gallery
Jason McLean’s The Sky is Falling consisted of 162 individual drawings created
specifically for the ceiling of the Vancouver Art Gallery lobby. The spiraling
medley of anecdotes and inside-jokes, irreverent portraits of friends and
family, images of foods and pharmaceuticals, diagrams of rumours and
news reports, comprised a metaphoric map of the comings and goings at
the edge of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, the artist’s residence for over
a decade. Living within what has become Canada’s poorest postal code,
McLean is a constant witness to a notorious scene of prostitution, drug trafficking,
street fights and other desperate acts. His drawings register these harsh
and constant references to the mundane but specific details of everyday
life. McLean was the fourth artist presented in NEXT: a Series of Artist
Projects from the Pacific Rim. NEXT: Jason McLean was supported by the
Associates of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Body: New Art from the UK
May 28–September 5, 2005
Jointly organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and The British Council
Curated by Bruce Grenville, Senior Curator, Vancouver Art Gallery, and
Colin Ledwith, The British Council
One of the persistent themes that links art and artists across generations
and over centuries is the theme of the body. The fourteen artists featured
in this exhibition took the human figure as the principal subject of their
work, representing two generations of British artists who have approached
this subject in distinctive, yet connected ways. Body included the YBAs
(Young British Artists), a loosely knit group of artists that emerged in the
1990s and identified the body as a powerful site of social rupture and dissent.
Their aggressive, in-your-face attitude united the strategies of British youth
culture, mass marketing and high art. A second generation emerged almost
simultaneously. They too acknowledged the primacy of the body as a subject
in contemporary art, but chose to emphasize its social complexity and
multi-coded character.
This exhibition was part of a year-long series of multidisciplinary events titled
UK Today: A New View, celebrating creative partnerships between Vancouver
and the United Kingdom. Generous support for this exhibition was provided
by GUCCI.

Franz West
Curated by Bruce Grenville, Senior Curator, Vancouver Art Gallery
Franz West is a renowned Austrian artist who lives and works in Vienna.
This exhibition examined three related aspects of West’s work—Passtücke
(Adaptives), sculpture and furniture. West’s Passtücke were intended to
be handled and worn by Gallery visitors, acting as deforming prosthetics
that extended the scope, garbled the gesture and imbalanced the posture
of each viewer/performer. West’s sculptures range widely in size but are
consistent in form—grotesquely formed lumps of papier mâché, plaster or
pieced metal, made to either sit directly on the floor or balance precariously
on a ready-made plinth. His works seem to propose a parody of more traditional
art forms, but at the same time, suggest a longing for sculpture that will
occupy a real and tangible space in the world.

Theodore Wan
Organized by Dalhousie Art Gallery
Curated by Christine Conley, Independent Curator
This touring exhibition presented the work of Chinese-Canadian artist
Theodore Wan (1958–1987). It surveyed the full scope of Wan’s practice, from
the artist’s best-known series of photographs and videotapes produced in the
late 1970s, which documented common medical procedures, to later works
addressing Wan’s identity as an immigrant and visible minority. It also included
never-before-seen works and archival documents that Wan produced while
working as a commercial photographer based at Main Exit, an artist-run
centre he opened in 1980. A multi-dimensional survey of Theodore Wan’s
practice, the exhibition presented some of the most significant research into
constructions of identity and the body in contemporary Canadian art. The
exhibition was generously supported by the Michael O’Brian Foundation.

Wang Du: Parade
Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery in collaboration with LaCriée, Rennes;
Les Abattoirs, Toulouse; Le Rectangle, Lyon and Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
Curated by Bruce Grenville, Senior Curator, Vancouver Art Gallery
This exhibition focused on the sculptural works of Wang Du (b. 1956), a
Chinese-born artist who has lived and worked in Paris since his release from
prison following the Beijing pro-democracy protests in 1989. Wang Du uses
traditional sculpting and casting techniques to produce elaborate threedimensional figures and forms. His subjects, however, are highly unconventional,
at least within the realm of sculpture. Originating primarily in widely circulated
magazines and newspapers, each sculpture is a painstaking three-dimensional
reproduction from an original two-dimensional image, and often incorporates
the extreme foreshortening and cropping that are part of mass media
representation. In this act of translation, Wang Du seeks to create a new
kind of reality so that our experience of popular images is no longer one of
unmediated consumption, but rather an intense encounter with a physical
object. The support of l’Association française d’action artistique (AFAA)
/French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Consulate General of France in
Vancouver is gratefully acknowledged.

Rodin:
A Magnificent Obsession
Sculpture from the Iris and
B. Gerald Cantor Foundation
June 18–September 22, 2005
Organized by Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation
Curated by Staff of the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation and Ian Thom,
Senior Curator, Vancouver Art Gallery
Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession, Sculpture from the Iris and B. Gerald
Cantor Foundation was the first Vancouver presentation in three decades
by major 19th-century European sculptor Auguste Rodin. Developed by the
Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation, holder of the world’s most comprehensive
Rodin collection, this major survey exhibition offered a complete retrospective
of the artist’s career and included more than 60 bronzes, from small studies
to monumental works. Exhibited in addition to the bronze sculptures were
works on paper, photographs, portraits of the artist and an educational
model that demonstrated the complexities of the lost-wax casting process,
Rodin’s favoured method of sculptural reproduction. Rodin: A Magnificent
Obsession afforded a rare opportunity to understand the processes underlying
the production of works that have had a profound impact on the history of
modern sculpture. The exhibition was generously supported by Weyerhaeuser.

In a world characterized by an abundance of information that circulates
rapidly through a complex set of networks, the processes of assembling
and ordering material holds a distinctive resonance as the basis for artistic
activity. This exhibition examined some of the ways in which artists employ,
transform or challenge the processes of ordering and classification through
which concepts of the world and our individual positions within it are deeply
embedded. Classified Materials spanned two floors of the Gallery and combined
an extensive selection of works from the collection with contributions
by internationally regarded contemporary artists from Asia, Europe, the
Americas and the Middle East. From the construction of fictive personas
to the configuration of social realities, Classified Materials provided key
insights into the much-debated function of archiving and accumulation.

Protean Picasso: Drawings

National Gallery of Canada
and
Selected Paintings From
International Collections
Organized by the National Gallery of Canada and the Vancouver Art Gallery
Curated by Diana Nemiroff, Curator of Modern Art, National Gallery of
Canada, and Ian Thom, Senior Curator, Vancouver Art Gallery
The exhibition offered viewers valuable insights into Picasso’s artistic language
as spoken in romantic realism, Cubism, Classicism and Surrealism. The exhibition
included prints from Picasso’s Blue Period and the famous Vollard Suite, as
well as prints covering the period of the Spanish Civil War. In addition to
an extraordinary range of prints from the National Gallery of Canada, the
exhibition featured a select number of paintings borrowed from leading
collections in Canada, France and the United States, including Crouching
Women (1902), Études (1920-21) and Dormeuses aux Persiennes (1934),
which illustrate Picasso’s innovative and evolving approach to the genres of
figure and still-life painting. The selection represented the most significant
assembly of Picasso’s paintings ever to be exhibited in Vancouver. Protean
Picasso was sponsored by AIM Trimark Investments.

NEXT: Neil Campbell
Curated by Daina Augaitis, Chief Curator/Associate Director, Vancouver
Art Gallery
Neil Campbell’s BASE (MACHINE) was an installation with lights conceived
specifically for the Georgia Street façade of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Confronted with the challenge of addressing the relationship of the
Gallery to the city and its inhabitants, Campbell activated the building as
an abstract perceptual field. Campbell is interested in a phenomenological
approach to art making—an inquiry into how we perceive the world in a fundamental, abstract sense. To this end, he sought out effects using intense
colours and non-representational shapes that stimulate vision, but might
frustrate the viewer’s desires to read a representation into the image or to
interpret the experience historically or otherwise. With this intervention, the
understanding of the Vancouver Art Gallery became an open question,
inviting passers-by to consider their relationship to the building and the
institution it houses. Campbell was the fifth artist presented in NEXT:
a Series of Artist Projects from the Pacific Rim. Technical assistance was
provided by Kahn Lee.

February 22, 2003–April 9, 2006
Curated by Ian Thom, Senior Curator; Daina Augaitis, Chief Curator/Associate
Director; Cheryl Meszaros, Head of Public Programs, Vancouver Art Gallery
This installation encompassed works from Emily Carr’s entire career,
affording fresh insights into the remarkable artistic achievements of one
of Canada’s most important modern artists. Organized into three thematic
sections, the exhibition began with Carr’s early artistic development, drawing connections to mentors such as Lawren Harris and Mark Tobey. The next
section traced Carr’s evolving experiments with imaging British Columbia’s
rainforests in an attempt to express her spiritual connection to this landscape. The last section focused on Carr’s fascination with the culture and
mythology of BC’s First Nations.

2005 collection in review
In 2005, 107 artworks were acquired, bringing the Gallery’s burgeoning
collection to a total of 8,888 works. The institution’s significant holdings of
photography continued to expand with gifts of major photographic works
from Toronto collectors Ann and Harry Malcolmson, a donation of Samuel
Bourne works through the continued generosity of Vancouver collectors
Claudia Beck and Andrew Gruft, as well as the addition of photographic works by
Rineke Dijkstra and Eija-Liisa Ahtila from Toronto collectors Alison and
Alan Schwartz. A generous gift of three Raymond Pettibon drawings was
contributed by Toronto collectors Ann and Marshall Webb. Picasso au
Château, a highly valued painted collage by artist Richard Hamilton, was
donated by Ronald and Ardelle Cliff, while Dr. Rodrigo Restrepo enhanced
the Gallery’s 19th-century Canadian holdings with the donation of a Cornelius
Krieghoff painting. Anona Thorne augmented the Gallery’s growing collection
of artworks by artist Takao Tanabe with a gift of the BC artist’s most recent
print, while the Gallery’s collection of Milne works was substantially enhanced
by an important gift of four watercolours from Dr. and Mrs. A.J. Warren.
Maxine Shaw and Family donated a major Robert Rauschenberg work, and
Kathleen and Laing Brown generously supported the Gallery with the gift
of a David Urban canvas. Artists Robert Linsley, Luanne Martineau, Jason
McLean, Lawrence Weiner and Eric Metcalfe each made significant gifts of
their work. Bill Jeffries continued his support with the donation of an important
volume of Edward Curtis photogravures.
In addition to these and many other generous donations, the Gallery was
successful in obtaining a matching Canada Council Acquisitions Assistance
Grant that allowed the acquisition of recent works by local artists Roy
Arden, Fred Herzog, Tim Lee and Althea Thauberger. With the assistance of
a Movable Cultural Property Grant from the Minister of Canadian Heritage
and a grant from the CCC Heritage Foundation, the Gallery was able to
repatriate three paintings by Jock Macdonald.

Public programs
Kokoro Dance Company’s slow, sensual movements
provided a perfect complement to the masterworks in
Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession, Sculpture from the Iris
and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation at the inaugural Fuse,
held Friday, July 22.

For Public Programs, 2005 was a contrasting year of consolidation and expansive
new thought. The new International Lecture Series presented a diverse roster of
speakers, including Vancouver artist Rodney Graham, Dr. Thomas Crow, Director
of the J. Paul Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, Roger Buergel, artistic
director of documenta 12 in Kassel, Germany, and Olivier Widmaer Picasso, Pablo
Picasso’s grandson and author of Picasso: The Real Family Story.
Fuse, the Gallery’s new evening fusion of art, performance and music, was a
resounding success. Held every fourth Friday from 6 to 11 p.m., Fuse featured cuttingedge performances from acts as diverse as Kokoro Dance, Naufus Ramirez
Figueroa and the instant compositions of Viviane Houle, Stefan Smulovitz and
houseband, to an original comedic performance by Vancouver Theatre Sports
League and original works by artist collectives Instant Coffee, Intermission and the
Puffer Machine. Fuse, presented by RBC Financial Group, launched in July 2005. The Public Programs department also completed a long-term strategic planning
process with the help of external consultants Henry Giroux, public education
specialist, Tony Bennett, museum theorist, Sarah Schultz, head of public programs
and education at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and many community
members who participated in focus groups. The result was a new set of value
statements reflecting how art shapes and inspires us as individuals, communities
and cultures.
The Gallery’s much-beloved supersunday family day celebrated its tenth year in
2005 with cake and interactive family art activities on October 17. The year’s highlights
included monthly MainDance movement workshops, two book launches by authors
Elisa Gutiérrez and Jacqueline Pearce, forty-five exhibition-based hands-on activities ranging from art-detective games to clay-tile workshops, and, above all, the smiling
faces of more than 10,000 young art lovers.
A number of exciting full-day residencies for teens took place in 2005. The focus
was on experiential learning in contemporary art; the students spent time under

the tutelage of contemporary artists, creating their own works and engaging in
critical discussions about the role of art in their own lives.
In the past year, professional gallery educators and docents worked together
to provide more than 18,000 students in grades 1 to 12 with an opportunity for
interactive tours and hands-on workshops inspired by the Gallery exhibitions
Real Pictures, Emily Carr and Protean Picasso. The fifth annual Teacher Institute,
co-produced with the Department of Curriculum Studies at the University of BC,
was filled to capacity again this year and more than 250 teachers took part in
the Gallery’s ongoing Professional Development and Teacher Orientation Days.
1,406 users took advantage of the Gallery’s popular English as Second Language
programs in 2005.
Public Programs collaborators for 2005 included the Canadian Art Foundation,
Pacific Cinémathèque and UBC Department of Art and Art History, as well as
Curriculum Studies, Society of Architectural Historians, LIVE Biennial, ECIAD,
Western Front New Music, SFU Continuing Studies, and Turning Point Ensemble.
We continued to rely on the commitment of our wonderful volunteers and on
the generosity of our many colleagues and friends in the community in order to
welcome the 90,000 people who attended Animateur talks, lectures and other
public programs at the Gallery in 2005.

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of the Vancouver Art Gallery Association
We have audited the balance sheet of the Vancouver Art Gallery Association
as at December 31, 2005 and the statements of operations, changes in net
assets and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Association’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an
audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Association as at December 31, 2005
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended
in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. As
required by the Society Act (British Columbia), we report that, in our opinion,
these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the
preceding year.

Vancouver Art Gallery association Notes to Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
1.Purpose of the Organization:
The Vancouver Art Gallery Association (the “Association”) is a
not-for-profit organization incorporated in April 1931 under the
Society Act (British Columbia). Its objectives are to establish
and maintain an art gallery for the perpetual benefit of the City
of Vancouver and its citizens. It is a registered Canadian charity
for Canadian income tax purposes.
2.Significant accounting policies:
The preparation of financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts in the financial statements and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the
use of management estimates include the determination of the
useful lives for amortization of capital assets and the net realizable
value of inventories. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Outlined below are those policies considered significant:
(a) Fund accounting:
These financial statements include the undernoted funds which
are segregated for purposes of carrying on specific activities as
described below.
(i) The General Fund reflects the results of general operations
of the Association.
(ii) The Acquisitions Fund was established with bequests
from donors and receives income earned by The Vancouver
Art Gallery Endowment Fund for Acquisitions of Art, which
is administered by the Vancouver Foundation (note 3).
(iii) The Life Benefactors Endowment Fund was initially established
during 1989 and the income from the Fund is intended to
finance special projects as determined by the Board of
Trustees in consultation with the Life Benefactors.
(iv) The Vancouver Arts Stabilization Team Fund was established
from restricted contributions received from the Gerald and
Sheahan McGavin Capital Grant to the Arts (note 7).
(b) Basis of accounting:
(i) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid
investments with terms to maturity of three months or less
at the date of inception.
(ii) Prepaid and exhibition expenses:
The balance is comprised primarily of exhibition expenditures that have been paid by the Association and relate to
exhibitions to be held the following year.
(iii) Inventories:
Inventories are comprised primarily of books, jewellery,
paper products, gifts, reproductions and clothing held for
sale in the Gallery Store and are stated at the lower of cost
and net realizable value.
(iv) Revenue recognition:
The Association follows the deferral method of accounting
for contributions which include donations, bequests and
government grants. Under this method of accounting, revenue
received which relates to a future period is deferred and
recognized in that subsequent period. Endowment
contributions are recorded as direct increases in net assets.
Exhibition loan fees are recognized as revenue when
received, except for the portion relating to a future period
which is deferred and recognized in that subsequent period.
Gallery store and artist edition revenue is recognized as revenue
as sales are made.
Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue
when received or receivable. Pledged amounts are
recorded as revenue when the amount to be received can
be reasonably estimated, typically when signed pledge
forms are received, and ultimate collection is reasonably
assured. At December 31, 2005, the Association has recorded
$110,577 (2004 - $82,896) of pledges as revenue and
accounts receivable.
Externally restricted contributions are reported as revenue
when the restrictions imposed by the contributors on the
use of the monies are satisfied.
(v) Capital assets:
Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized on
a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets.
The useful lives of assets are as follows:
AssetRate
Computers
3 – 5 years
Equipment
3 – 10 years
Furniture and building fixtures5 – 25 years
The Association is responsible for the management of these
assets and enjoys beneficial ownership thereof. Title to the
majority of these assets is vested in the City of Vancouver.
(vi) Pension plan:
The Association maintains a defined contribution plan
for its employees. Pension plan costs for the employees
of the Association are funded annually and charged to
operating expenses. These costs totaled $123,764 during
2005 (2004 - $112,165).
(vii)Employee future benefits:
The Association accrues its obligations under employee
benefit plans and the related costs as the underlying
services are provided.
(viii)Collection (see note 11):
Additions to the collection are charged as an expense of
the Acquisitions Fund in the year of acquisition.
(ix) Donated works of art, materials and services:
The Association receives donated works of art, materials
and services, the value of which is not reflected in these
financial statements.
(x) Use of estimates:
The preparation of Financial statements in conformity
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the Financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the year.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Comparative figures:
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with
the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.
