With a swirling exterior of zinc, glass and steel inspired by Edmonton’s unique northern environment – its silver colour reflects the shimmering, multi-coloured Aurora Borealis – the Art Gallery of Alberta exudes creativity even from the outside. Los Angeles-based architect Randall Stout’s stunning structure has put a modern spin on Alberta’s oldest cultural institution.
The Art Gallery of Alberta is officially having their 100th birthday this year-- Make sure to check their website for a list of upcoming birthday festivities going on!
From original contemporary to historical exhibitions from Alberta, across Canada and around the world, explore over 6,000 objects (created by a mix of local & international artists!) throughout three bright and airy floors of viewing space. Attend enlightening talks and films in the Ledcor Theatre, roll up your sleeves at drop-in arts workshops at the Singhmar Centre for Art Education, then take home your very own masterpiece from Shop AGA.
