- In the mid 1990's
Wesley Yuen, a collector and
gallerist, ran Project
Gallery at 88 East Cordova.
   The exhibit also presents
highlights of Gallery
Gachet's tenure at 88 East
Cordova since 1997. The
Gachet Collective's focus on
supporting and presenting

outsider artists and building
strong connections with the
community gave Gallery Gachet
a central role in further
shaping the artistic milieu
of this historic
neighbourhood.
   Gachet is a nonprofit
collectively-run exhibition
and studio space built to

empower participants as
artists, administrators and
curators; during its time at
88 East Cordova it has become
a neighbourhood institution.
Via artistic means, Gachet
provides a focal point for
dialogue amongst outsider,
visionary and dissident
artists, while demystifying

issues related to mental
health and social
marginalization in order to
educate the public and
promote social and economic
justice.
   The contribution of 88
East Cordova to Vancouver's
cultural history is unique,
