Event Calendar

Join us for our annual holiday sale of contemporary craft! This year, we’re going digital with the same commitment to originality, excellence, and sophistication via a new online platform.

The Decorative Arts have been, and continue to be, an important component of the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s collection and exhibition activity.

Uncover the stories behind the art and artists with a 45-60-minute guided tour by our trained volunteers.

Remembrance Day: Make a beautiful poppy with your family to celebrate this important day.

Born in Power considers the power of photography and film to capture and create constructs of identity. This exhibition unpacks the history of photography as a colonial tool, an imperial weapon of racial violence and objectification.

This exhibition highlights some of the many sculptures in the Gallery’s collection made of bone.
The bone is from a variety of animals and demonstrates the imagination of the artists who worked with the eccentric shapes of the raw material.

White Winter: Create a white monochromatic festive collage to celebrate the season. Plus explore the Galleries!

One of Canada’s most beloved folk artists, Maud Lewis was famous in her lifetime for her brightly coloured and endearing paintings of rural Nova Scotia.

INUA is the WAG Inuit Art Centre’s inaugural exhibition. A wide range of groundbreaking work will be on view in the 8,000 sq ft Inuit Gallery, the largest single gallery space devoted to Inuit art and culture.

Join us for bi-monthly talks, videos, and tours over the lunch hour!

Every second year, the galleries blossom with a feast for the senses. Experience Art in Bloom’s lush exhibit of floral designs and the art that inspires them, presented by the Associates of the WAG.

The exhibition will reflect on international Indigenous connections to water – spiritually, environmentally, socially, and culturally, looking into collective histories and fragilities of the future.

Travelling to Nanaimo Art Gallery this fall!

See old favourites in an exciting new way! Discover some of the oldest and best loved artworks in the WAG collection in salon-style fashion, featuring some rarely seen gems from the 16th-to-19th centuries.

This symbol in both Inuktitut and Anishininiwak translates into ‘I’ , embodying self-determination and solidarity in collective reclamation.

Storytelling is one of the most important aspects of Inuit culture, passed down by elders through generations to enrich and enlighten.

This exhibition presents a selection of Ivan Eyre’s series of “silhouettes”, and “cutaways”. It also studies his fascination with using everyday structures, such as the windowsill or a common packing box as a framing device. For Eyre, these structures were a gateway for “looking through”—and beyond—physical reality as we may commonly perceive it.

Pairing landscape paintings by Walter J. Phillips with the botanical illustrations of Linda Fairfield Stechesen, this exhibition represents the ecology of the Prairies from two very different, yet complimentary approaches, giving us a fuller picture of the natural world.

In Place celebrates a selection of recurring themes relevant to Manitoban artists over the past fifty years (1970 – today).

Inuit fashion designers are becoming increasingly popular and in demand – and to celebrate the next generation of Inuit designers, this exhibition will look at fashionable accessories and jewellery from generations past.
