Gallery Gachet

Gachet Gallery is an artist-run art gallery in the Downtown Eastside neighborhood of Vancouver. It is named after Paul Gachet, the physician of Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh, an artist widely considered an "Outsider artist," is evoked in the name of Gallery Gachet to signify its mission to promote the works of outsider artists and artists dealing with mental illnesses. The gallery describes its mandate as being "to support artists and offer art programs addressing mental health and socio-political marginalization while promoting art as a means for survival, cultural participation and human rights."
