Zinc Catering, Art Gallery of Alberta Review

Beautiful building and an even more inspiring set of exhibitions inside.

Interesting and mind bending installations and staff to explain what the artists and shows are about. Gorgeous building. Installation on top floor opens Oct 4 2019. Beautiful gallery.

Not what I look for in art or a art gallery. Building is very neat though.

Boring, dull collection. It seems to be more interested in pandering to First Nations apologies rather than art.

This is an amazing, State of the art facility. Very passionate and knowledgeable staff

I like it offer free admission to students. Wish it could show more items in the gallery.

It was eduactional and the pieces were quite good. I wood defintily recomend it for a saturday afternoon of relaxing entertainment!

Nice place to go in downtown Edmonton, good place to spend a few hours exploring.

Waste of time, . This months art ???. Waste of money. Not for children on their Summer holiday.

Beautiful building, very easily accessible via public transit. Friendly staff and great exhibitions.

The Group of Seven was well worth the entry price. The other exhibits were not for me but I did enjoy going through and seeing them.

A lot of fun for everyone. Students can get in for free so take advantage of this opportunity. I highly recommend going going during lunch because there wasn't a lot of people. Take pictures (where they allow it). Can't wait to go back when they have something new!

Art, Music, food and fabulous crowd. The VIBE event had it all! Thank you Art Gallery of Alberta for inviting me to be your Vibe Artist. Thank you Manon Gaudet and Sofi for such a smooth and pleasant coordination. Thoroughly enjoyed working with you and everyone who joined for the calligraphy activity. Lovely Art gallery indeed!

$12 for.... Two barely furnished rooms of art... And some random room full of photos. You're better off going to an art shop and looking at the pieces there.

The gallery is small, but the exhibits change frequently. There is a hands on studio for kids to try different animation styles. Check out family Sundays and Tours for Tots (Wednesday mornings) for kid friendly activities!

Beautiful building. Would've given 5 stars but I'm not always a fan of all the art they display

Small collection but worth seeing. The architecture of the building is interesting and makes for great photos.

Love this place! I can escape away from the everyday life and enjoy art from different styles and ages. The design and layout of the building is definitely something that is unique in Canada. When visitors to Edmonton ask me what they should see, I always recommend checking out the AGA!

Had some training using the facilities at the AGA last week and I was thoroughly impressed. If you need to host a meeting or small conference you should certainly consider the professional staff and beautiful surroundings of the AGA.

Not enough bike parking, and what *is* supplied is not visible enough to be safe from bike thieves. **And then they complain about us locking bikes in the safest location?? Grrr**

But do go see the absolutely fabulous Kentridge exhibit. "Procession" is incredible, the best installation I've seen since Lyndal Osborne exhibited.

Great place for cultural gatherings, and an artistic side of the city

The art gallery has a range of regular and visiting exhibitions which are sure to tickle your fancy. The location is very central in the downtown area. Just a shame there's not much urban amenity nearby. Entrance fees are very reasonable at around $13 and they have free tours which are great. The architecture of this building is a standout feature. If you don't want to pay the entrance fee you can always visit the giftshop and lobby to get a sense of the building.

So unexpectedly beautiful, the building has an energy that could inspire artistic endeavors! I am looking forward to my next trip to AGA in November, because I still have to try the restaurant.

Exhibits were average certainly not suited for every audience.

Reasonable pricing for students, pretty good selection of exhibits. Can probably go through all the exhibits in under 3 hours at a comfortable pace.

We went here for a small wedding. The food was very good. The space was large enough.
We had a great time

I always enjoy spending time here. I got a membership so dropping in occasionally is easy to do and they have some great exhibits. I'm trying to do the current one on technology which offers to look at your Facebook account in detail and tell you more scary things about what Facebook knows about you!

I look forward to trying Zinc restaurant as well. Especially so given the executive chef just won bronze in a recent culinary competition! Well done Doreen Prei!

Good source of education for children. I have visited this with my son and saw amazing art and the place was neat and clean. The environment was calm and posited every stuff was properly placed. I am glad to recommend this place to all.

Every Edmontonian should visit the Art Gallery once in a while.

Everyone needs a good Art. Stop complaining, it's good for you.. go!

So it free to get in the gallary on Thursday from 5 pm to 8 pm and if you get there on time you can do one of the free tours as well. It was very interesting to see local artist on display. They have an exhibition now that deal with landscape interaction with different aspect in our community, society and the vegetation on a whole.

Exhibits change frequently, so visit often to see the different works. It's free for students, so bring your ID card and your friends. Fun and affordable outing!

Not a fan of this museum. The collection when I visited was not particularly stunning. Wouldn't waste my time going back there.

Very few pieces of art. Not worth the trip. Beautiful building, they should find something else to do with it.

Terrible. All native American art, which I like, but I like variety more. Very bland and boring. Better off going to art shop in the west Ed mall

The new Art Gallery building is nice unfortunately it's not that much to see inside. Some controversial Modern Art that didn't impress me at all. The souvenir shop was good though

Updated since my original visit of 1 star: The building is cool but the art is pretty crappy. See photo. Also, There is a nice roof patio but it's locked. What's up with that?
Last time (1 star) I didn't get in because it closed at like 5 or something, This time, They were open until 8pm. 3 stars. EDIT: I ONLY VISIT WHEN IT'S FREE. I WOULD PROBABLY GIVE A HIGHER RATING IF IT WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

The only problem I have with this gallery is that it's not big enough! It well set up, lots of different works come through. And the price is reasonable for what you get.

We really tried to enjoy this, we really did, but unfortunately it was really bad. It really should be named The Modern Art Gallery of Alberta , because all the exhibits didn t make any sense, one exhibit was literally 2 pictures on the wall, and we couldn t make any sense of what was going on and it really didn t have any real art. I love supporting the arts but unfortunately this isn t good enough to do that at a minimum. It also is tiny and normally that would be ok if there were some nice piece to look at but this was filled with garbage, so we got through it in under 20 minutes.

Beautiful architecture definitely a must see in Edmonton.

Always an adventure to explore the beautiful architecture and installations.

Very nice & interesting. We were here about a year ago and I forgot to do the review. I loved the exhibit of the different houses in Edmonton. Although I've always noticed the different architecture on doorways of homes in the older parts of Edmonton, it was very interesting to see the gallery of photographs. If you go downtown on a Sunday some of street parking is free, just be careful you look at the signs because if there is an event going on at the Arena then the parking isn't free.

Very small, exhibits could have been better quality. Was planning on having a wedding reception here, no thank you.

Amazing building, however would like to see more classical collections

One level was closed but we got a discounted price on entry, really varied and interesting exhibitions.

Absolutely stunning building in central Edmonton. Easy walking distance from just about anywhere and also has multiple rooms for events etc.

It's was very strange , very interested in seeing more

Attended a work event here, food was amazimg, staff were attentive and the venue is stunning to say the least.

Best option is to visit on Tuesday evening for a free pass and don't forget to take your child in art room for coloring n painting and also don't forget to visit 1st floor to view short animated films

Really awesome Gallery!
If you will be in Edmond - just visit it. I don't want to explain what I saw there, you need to watch by your own

The attention to detail, overall presentation, and quality of people working here has impressed me on several occasions. Also, their events are very cool.

It was fine since today was free admission however little too crowded and some of the displays represented things i would not approve. Left very disappointed. The staff was great.

I have been here several times since opening. Great place. Modern building, great exhibits , rotating every few months . Is a different experience every time you visit. Strongly recommend . Bring your family , your children.

Unique place to take a walk & take in the art while Downtown

$12 for access to several exhibits. Exhibits change regularly so always new stuff to see.

A truly unique place, amazing art and friendly staff.

Definitely place to visit in Edmonton. Brand new gallery with very good art in it.

As an artist, student of art, visitor of galleries across North America and Europe, and former museum employee of a world-class art gallery in DC (I know I sound pretentious...I'll remove my monocle now...), I can say this is an impressive space with interesting exhibits. Been several times. I'll probably go several more.

Enjoy the ART GALLERY, DE.ALBERTA CANADA, It will be a rewarding experience, around its presentations of diverse culture.

I attended a wedding at the Art Gallery of Alberta. The venue had a very industrial feel to it, which I did not like. The food was decent, but the service was excellent. A staff member would immediately clean up any spills or broken glass on the floor.

Really interesting and eye opening pieces, but a whole floor was closed. So naw, take your 4/5.

The AGA is great! I have only seen two exhibits here but have enjoyed them immensely! An awesome building that adds character to downtown Edmonton! A fantastic addition to the city!

My kids had a great time, and loved the hands on kids exhibit.

Very nice gallery. Well curated exhibits, very nice venue. I was here when the "Songs for Pythagoras" exhibit was running and really liked it. The building is very unique as well and is much cooler when you see the atrium from the inside. Worth the trip!
