What a beautiful gallery it is! You immediately feel as though you're in someone's home with a fireplace and walk down sitting area. The log beams are exposed and creates a warm welcoming space. Roy Vickers is a local artist whose beautiful screen prints are on display and beneath each print is a short story. Vickers is a talented artist who captures the spirit of coastal living on Tofino and surrounding areas. You'll be drawn to the bright colours, soothing images of mountains, eagles, the ocean and use of Indigenous symbolism in backgrounds will have you in awe.

I only had a limited amount of time in the area and wanted to find a boutique with locally made artisan pieces from and was lucky to find this one in one of the travel guides at my hotel.

I'll be back for sure the next time I'm in the area!

Wow, what a wonderful experience dealing with the extremely helpful staff at the Salish Sea Market…read more I had been in the store on a previous trip to the Island (what a treasure trove of unique gifts and art) and a relative fell in love with a piece but could not buy it at the time. I emailed the staff and they emailed me back with pictures and information about shipping, and made the process of buying an item without being in the store so absolutely painless and easy. I cannot thank them enough for helping me out. I really recommend having a look at their website www.salishseamarket.com/ or visiting in person when in the area. Special kudos to Vivian and Sarah

95/100 Known as…read more"TOSH" by the locals. I am gonna go ahead and give this destination 5 stars because it is really a one stop shop for Island art work. I must say, thinking now, there is not much Native Art work here so I would not make this a stop if you are looking for that type of art. There is an artist (or two) at work as well as kids pottery glass. I picked up a few cute postcards here, but this is really a place you can take a lot of time to explore. Any price range can be met I purchased a couple $0.50 postcards but you can get artwork there to satiate any desire and price range. You must pop in for a visit when you are in the quaint town of QB.
