Bau-Xi Gallery is a commercial art gallery with locations in Vancouver, Toronto and Seattle. The Vancouver gallery began in 1965 and lead to a 'gallery row' on South Granville street. Its location is one of the few commercial gallery spaces designed from the ground-up to exhibit artwork. The Toronto location (since 1976) is located directly across the street from the Art Gallery of Ontario on Dundas Street West, in the heart of downtown Toronto. In 2002 the Foster/White Gallery which is located in Seattle's Pioneer Square was purchased by the Huang Family. In January 2010, Bau-Xi opened Bau-Xi Photo on Dundas Street, Toronto/Dundas Street West, located nearby Bau-Xi Gallery. Bau-Xi Photo is dedicated to emerging, mid-career and established Canadian and International Photographers. Bau-Xi Gallery typically exhibits and sells paintings but also deals with sculpture and print. Most of the artists are Canadian with a few Americans. Monthly exhibits rotate through the galleries. Pronounced boe-she, the gallery name translates to 'Great Gift'.
