gallerygachet is a unique artistic organization founded in Vancouver in 1994.

Named after Vincent Van Gogh's homeopathic doctor, Paul Gachet, the Gallery is both a place of healing and a centre of artistic excellence.

gallerygachet is a focal point for dialogue amongst outsider/dissident artists. Using the canvas of the outside world we educate and demystify the public on mental health and advance the artistic discourse therein.
