In the fall of 1980, artist and photographer Theodore Wan opened Main Exit Gallery with the aim to offer an exhibition space to the local artist community that was neither commercial nor dependent on government funding. The D.I.Y. gallery was partitioned out of Wan’s studio on the fifth floor of a building on Main Street near the Georgia Viaduct, which he had secured through his connections with the Chinese business community. In just over two years of operations, Main Exit held eleven exhibitions, including solo shows by Roland Brener, Amy Jones, Elizabeth MacKenzie, David MacWilliam, Sandra Meigs, and Jana Sterbak, before closing in November 1982.
