I have been to many galleries large and small, locally, nationally and around the world. This is a beautiful building with an uninspired collection. The $12.50 admission price was not worth it. This gallery should be free.
Awesome place to wonder around and look at amazing art. The building alone is just interesting to explore.
Its vood to experience art its a eay to rekease our innermost spirit.
Our art gallery and the staff make an effort to bring new , old , amazing and different art experiences to Edmonton. The building itself is incredible , Individual galleries , A kids space, coffee bar. and more! It is inexpensive or free to the public on specific weekday hours and most holidays
Attended many events there and the setting is always on point and the food was great.
Check out the onsite restaurant Zinc
Surprised to find myself in this place but was quite delighted by what was on display and I enjoyed taking a look. For anyone looking to see some decent art, there is a quite a different range of works to see and there was a special exhibit when I went. They also have free entry one night a week - wednesday - a good time to visit. Place is well taken care of and in a good location downtown.
Amazing experience and a must visit for all art lovers.
Beautiful and elegant. Zinc was a real treat to go to.
Very poor collection, mostly modern art contributing no value to society. Lost opportunity to showcase many talented prarie artists. Save your money and go to AGO when in Toronto.
It's free for all Alberta students and youth! Awesome performance pieces and great art. Definitely worth a trip with friends or for anyone who enjoys art. You'll spend about an hour or so here.
Beautiful environment, stimulates the mind and the senses.
Highly unique architecture and creative exhibits make this place a must-see!
Not very many things to see. My kids were not very impressed by it. A lot of money for not much fun
Professional and was treated amazing for a novice to the Art world
It was great. It was a relatively short walk through due to many of the exhibits being closed, but I would love to take another tour when the expansions are completed.
The architecture of this building is amazing. There is a cafe on the second floor with a little terrace that you can sit outside.
However, I think they serve instant coffee.
Beautiful but the place to get coffee seemed to be absent. No bell to ring for service.
This art gallery has very interesting pieces some of them are very old. The Flemish art section is a must see if you're into older drawing styles from the 1500s up to the 1800s. Very interesting, I would recommend.
Loved looking around at the art. They have special pricing for students, even out of province. Beautiful building.
Great place to visit, great way to spend the day. Staff were knowledgeable and very helpful. Interesting exhibits and a very nice building. Really enjoyed the Globe and Mail exhibit, very interesting and informative.
I usually visit the art gallery on free nights. I'm glad they have nights like this so students and families on a budget can still enjoy the arts. The only downfall is it can get really busy and noisy.
Not worth the entrance fee. Some of the 'displays' just simply were ridiculous, for example: a pile of wooden match stick heads, some rotten, discarded plywood entitled ' found', and a dead tree branch. Perhaps we are simple folk from the country with no appreceation or incredibly rich because many of these displays could be found in our garbage heap on our farm, including an outdated satellite dish. Sadly disappointed and left wondering how good money could be squandered on this level.
First time going here, I was pleasantly surprised. Exhibits were great, easy to figure out where to go.
The building is one of a kind but the exhibits are not especial, not worth paying 13 bucks at all. Take a photo of the building and don't bother going in.
LOVE the architecture and gift shop. Some interesting galleries.
Went with 26 Kindergarten children and the program instructors were amazing
Very educational, lots to see and a nice way to spend a rainy day.
It was pretty cool. We were looking for a different wedding venue!.
Definitely go on a Thursday when it is free! Small enough to spend a few hours. Unfortunately we were there when a floor was closed for a changeover.
Always fun to see the changing exhibits. Often thought provoking.
Love the building...the curves, metal, wood and glass bring so many elements together.
Incredible catering service in a stunning venue, Zinc restaurant at AGA has been turning heads and blowing minds for years.
Small but clean and tidy place with a wide variety of galleries.
You can actually rent original art for decent price (40-60 bucks a month). My employer does this on the occasion. Minimum 3 month rental. Cheaper than buying thr painting and you can always change up to keep your office fresh.
Don't expect to be impressed by anything other than the architecture and a single put together exhibit. Every other felt piecemeal or like very little to fill up the large exhibit halls.
Amazing night out. Vibe happens every third Friday and includes live music, entry to the galleries and an activity. Wonderful vibe and a great opportunity to be out in downtown core.
Beautiful building, interesting exhibitions that are well curated. However the content is rather small.
Love art and this place is free on Tuesday/Thursday afternoons.
Great infrastructure,good vibes and lovely artifacts
Great place to go with the family or friends , they offer a lot of free activities during the month
Beautiful Gallery, with different forms of art work
This building caused a lot of controversy when it first was planned. One look at the outside will tell you why. While the outside architecture may be a bit out there, inside is beautiful. The art changes regularly so check the schedule. There is usually a great mix of things going on here. It's a great way to spend a rainy day and feel cultured, if only for a moment.
The museum is small enough to allow you to see the whole thing without suffering from overload. The focus is largely on modern art, and a lot of the pieces were challenging, which I liked. I'm glad they aren't shying away from cutting edge pieces that integrate data and VR and speak to the modern age.
The exhibit "Cul de sac" spoke to a lot of things I've been thinking about regarding housing development, and gave me more to think on.
Not much to see and was disappointed in the layout of the pieces throughout the gallery. Expensive admission for what there is to view. Parking can be difficult and expensive depending on the day you go. Would not go again.
Great building and great works of art on the inside. It is also and ideal place to host and event in Edmonton, Alberta. The only think that I think should be different is the placement of the building on the corner of Churchill Square. I would have made the choice to put it in a different location.
The AGA always has interesting exhibits, worth getting an annual membership so you can go back again and again!
Centrally located in Edmonton. City Hall. You can see the museum square at once, but don't expect to see the inside except the exterior.
I honestly expected more art but was not disappointed. When I went, there was a simulcast art gallery with another in Europe which was bonkers and cool, there was an interactive art exhibit where guests could leave sticky notes to a question, and there was a lot of good pieces with area history. Not too mention, the whole building is one giant piece of art itself. Definitely recommend popping in.
I was surprised by the free arts and crafts when we visited on Sunday. My partner and I made etchings on Styrofoam pads and tried silkscreening for the first time! Those, and the timely cultural postcards inside the exhibits made for perfect souvenirs from Alberta.
Very cool building - interesting shows - it seemed liked there wasn't a permanent collection which was interesting. Will come back when the second floor is open agajn
The exhibits change regularly enough and are quite varied. If the art itself isn't enough, the design of the building is interesting to observe as well. For a poor student, I especially love the free community nights every month
Really good art gallery. Sometimes the exhibits aren't my thing, but there is always a nice mix of modern, with some interactive, with some more traditional stuff. Very good building downtown.
Wonderful place full of beautiful art, even the building itself symbolises Edmonton!
Place is nice, but their hours aren't very good. Worth checking out though!
Very unique exhibits and the building is fantastic to explore and admire!
Got to visit here on Canada day. Well organized and beautiful paintings
Beautiful facility with a variety of installations raging from professional international works to local immerging talent.
Beautiful gallery. Exhibits were wonderful and there was children's programming as well. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates art.
Extremely Fantastic Building Of Art Work In Edmonton
Amazing exhibits m,super friendly staff,very clean,great gift store with books,artsy kitchenware,art supplies of course,and so many prints! The exhibits were moving and you could tell that passion was everywhere. Would definitely recommend paying a visit.
Nice evening to celebrate Black History month. Would have been nice to be more involved and have interactions with eachother.
We're not normally art gallery types, but our stay-at-home vacation in Edmonton gave us the perfect opportunity to change that. The new building is stunning, and though it's not really to my taste, it's good to see a building that is more than utilitarian in its design.
The current exhibit on the main floor featuring Canada's women painters was terrific. I sat for the longest time having at this painting, "Canoes in a Fog, Lake Superior, 1869" by Frances Ann Hopkins.
I recommend the art lessons for kids. Emma is an awesome teacher.
