Winnipeg Art Gallery

Established in 1912, the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) 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. Exhibitions are accompanied by informative wall panels, brochures, articles in the Gallery publication Tableau, and catalogues all designed to guide visitors to a new appreciation of the art they are viewing.

WAG exhibitions also regularly tour to other Canadian galleries. Extending beyond just the visual arts, the WAG 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 and Soul, and may other exciting events.
