One More Life Gallery was born out of a deep passion for making art more accessible in Vancouver. Flavia, the founder, has always felt a strong connection to the arts; drawing, painting, and creating since childhood. After graduating from high school, she pursued that passion at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts. That experience shaped her creatively, but it also opened her eyes to how closed-off and intimidating the local art scene can feel for a new and emerging artist. 

​

After Emily Carr, Flavia began exhibiting her own work locally and internationally while also turning her attention to building more welcoming spaces for other artists. In the summer of 2023, she launched One More Life Gallery, a pop-up gallery designed to break down barriers in the art world. The first show, Spooky Postcard Show, debuted in fall of 2023 and set the tone for what One More Life is about: accessible, community-driven, and artist focused events. Since then, we've hosted multiple shows across different venues, collaborating with both emerging and experienced artists from Canada and aboard. 

​

Workshops are a big part of what we do. Each of our shows includes a free, hands-on workshop that invites the public to participate in the creative process. Beyond the artshows, we also host stand-alone workshops that are family-friendly, fun, and designed to bring the local community closer together through art. From button-making to bird feeders to tote bag design, our workshops are open to all ages and skill levels and aim to create low-pressure, welcoming spaces for everyone. 

​

One More Life Gallery is a passion. It's a never-ending thrist for more, to bring vibrant, inclusive, and accessible art events to our community. Whether we're showcasing first-time artists or bringin international work to local audiences, our mission is rooted in creating real opportunities and spaces where art can be shared, celebrated, and felt. 

​

It ain't over yet!
