Established in 1994, the Catriona Jeffries Gallery focuses on the post conceptual art practices which have emerged from Vancouver and the critical relationships between these practices and particular international artists. The gallery is located in Vancouver's east side False Creek area in a converted industrial warehouse building designed by architect Robert Kleyn.

Catriona Jeffries has played an important historical role in establishing the lineages of younger artistic practices emerging from Vancouver and in securing the vital dialogue among the gallery's artists with international museums and private collections. Through its recognized exhibition program, curatorial collaborations, off-site projects and writing projects published under CJ Press, the gallery contributes to an international discussion and currency of contemporary art. Catriona Jeffries gallery has established a strong reputation amongst the international curatorial, critical and collecting community as being one of Canada's pre-eminent sites of contemporary art.
