The Winnipeg Art Gallery in Winnipeg, Winnipeg Capital Region, Canada | Art Gallery

Established in 1912, the Winnipeg Art Gallery is Western Canada’s oldest public Art Gallery, mandated to develop and maintain Manitoba’s visual arts heritage. As one of Canada’s leading galleries, it collects and exhibits works of art by Manitoba, Canadian, and international artists.

The Winnipeg Art Gallery takes seriously its mandate of involving people in the Visual Arts, and is committed to helping people enrich their lives through art. Tours conducted by trained Gallery guides and often by the artists or curators themselves bring a new dimension to visitors’ enjoyment of the exhibitions.

The Winnipeg Art Gallery also reaches out into the rest of the province by touring shows to rural galleries and exhibition centres. The Winnipeg Art Gallery exhibitions also regularly tour to other Canadian galleries. Internationally, Winnipeg Art Gallery exhibitions have shown in New York, Caracas, Bogota, Barcelona, Tokyo, Thessaloniki, and Verona.

The Winnipeg Art Gallery also offers readings by Manitoba writers and poets; lectures by internationally known critics, writers, and filmmakers; summertime jazz concerts in the rooftop garden; films; giant parties like Art & Soul, and may other exciting events.
