Pacific Arts Market

🌟 Welcome to Our New Gallery Artist! 🌟

We’re thrilled to introduce Canadian Artist Graham Watts, joining our brand‑new Pacific Arts Market Gallery in Nanaimo on July 9th! Part of the 3rd and final round of the first to join the new Gallery.

Graham was a very valuable part of our Vancouver Gallery from day one, it's an honour to have him with us in Nanaimo from the start as well!

We’re now open from Wednesday-Sunday, and we’re open on the 9th from 10-8pm

Our big Grand Opening event is on July 11th, once all first artists and vendors have moved in. Save the date! 2-6pm, live music, drinks, and art.

All Gallery terms begin with 12 weeks and are fully renewable, and we’re so excited that Graham has chosen to be part of this incredible new chapter alongside 50+ local artists and makers.

🎨 About the Artist:

Graham Watts is a Canadian artist based in Whistler & Vancouver, known for his bold original oil paintings of Canadian wildlife, mountain landscapes, Vancouver city scenes, and the rugged beauty of the Sea-to-Sky region.

His work is inspired by the places and moments that define life on the West Coast — the quiet strength of a grizzly bear, the dramatic peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb, the glow of Vancouver streets after the rain, and the colour, movement, and spirit found throughout the Canadian landscape.

Graham’s paintings combine vibrant colour, textured brushwork, and a strong sense of depth. He often describes his approach as “sculpting with a brush,” building each painting with energy and dimension so the subject feels alive on the canvas. His work balances realism with expressive colour, creating pieces that feel both familiar and deeply emotional.

📍 Visit the Gallery:
#100‑460 Wallace Street, Nanaimo (part of the new Soundworks building)
There’s plenty of street parking nearby, plus a parking lot right beside the building.
This is a big moment — help us welcome this amazing artist into our brand‑new creative space!
