Gallery Gachet is a unique artistic institution founded in Vancouver in 1992. Named after Vincent Van Gogh's homeopathic doctor, Paul Gachet. 
Gallery Gachet strives to provide a focal point for dialogue amongst outsider/dissident artists. We aim to use the canvas of the outside work to educate and demystify the public on issues related to mental health and to advance the artistic discourse around these issues. We provide the artists informed by mental health issues with opportunities to exhibit, curate, perform, read, teach and to develop their leadership skills. Located at 88 East Cordova Street, close to the diverse populations that reside in Vancouver's neighborhoods.
