"Before the Audain Art Museum opened in 2016, art lovers often visited Mountain Galleries at the Fairmont to immerse themselves in the Coast Mountain aesthetic. One hundred artists, including more than a dozen Inuit artists, exhibittheir work here. A stroll through the Mountain Galleries, after time spent amid the remarkable Whistlerscenery, can revealthings you couldn't see yourself: Dizzying artistic interpretations of the regionincludephotorealisticpaintings of hemlock forests, close-up portraits of imaginativelycolored bears, and a nearly abstract drawing of a rock peekingabove high tide in the Howe Sound. The collective frequently hosts artists-in-residence and rotates visiting exhibitions."
