Art Gallery of Alberta
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, one that's just turned 100!
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.
Did we mention that the AGA offers free admission from 4 to 7 p.m. on the last Thursday of every month? Get ready for an artsy evening like no other!
