Located just minutes from the Tsawwassen ferry terminal, Gallery 1710 is a bright, welcoming space where the community comes together to experience the power of visual art. Home of the South Delta Artists Guild, the gallery showcases a rotating selection of original works by local artists ranging from abstract to traditional, from watercolour to mixed media and a wide variety of 3D art.
Visitors are frequently surprised by the choice of artwork available in all sizes, styles and price ranges. Art cards, prints and calendars are also available.
A Home for Art in the Heart of Tsawwassen
Something New Every Month
Each month, Gallery 1710 comes alive with a new exhibition. Whether you’re an art collector, casual browser, or curious newcomer, there’s always something fresh and inspiring to see.
Drop by during open hours, 12 – 4 pm Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Entry is free. Guild member docents can assist you with information about the artwork, our artists, or the Guild, or help you purchase something special.
Be sure to vote for your favourite artwork, as the one with the most votes wins “Peoples’ Choice” and the artist will be honoured by their peers.
Check our home page regularly for special events that are held from time to time, including juried shows, themed shows or artist demos.
The Building
Originally built in 1972 by the Kiwanis Club of Tsawwassen as the South Delta Library, it became the home of the South Delta Artists Guild in 1999. It was designed in the style of a Coast Salish Longhouse as a tribute to the Tsawwassen First Nations and called “The Longhouse” to recognize the First Nations design and artwork.
It was later renamed Gallery 1710, to indicate the broad range of artwork shown within the gallery and to help patrons find their way.
The building has a large workroom, kitchen and storage space, allowing the Guild to hold workshops, classes and special events. Members may also use the studio space, either on their own, or with others during scheduled drop-in times.
