Event Calendar

Travelling to Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre in Whistler, British Columbia this Spring.

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.

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

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.

In celebration of the opening of Qaumajaq, the Inuit art centre, the WAG curatorial team have installed Jonathan Jones’s untitled (infinity).

Visitors to WAG-Qaumajuq can experience art before coming inside! Check out the sculptures outside Qaumajuq and the WAG – see works by Goota Ashoona, Abraham Anghik Ruben, and Ivan Eyre, all for free!

INUA is the inaugural exhibition of Qaumajuq, the new Inuit art centre at the WAG. See work by over 90 Inuit artists working across Inuit Nunangat and beyond.

This unique mobile exhibition will travel across the province to your communities and schools for years to come! It all starts this May in celebration of Qaumajuq, the new Inuit art centre at the WAG, and Manitoba’s 150th anniversary of being a province.
