This new facility is built on land that was going to be a women's shelter. Winspear bought them out. I don't know what was wrong with the old art gallery. I have fond memories of making an ashtray in art class there when I was little. This building is modern and spacious and the exhibits are lovely. More

We enjoyed the focus on Alberta artists. The building itself is a work of art. Art is tastefully displayed and small crowds make thoughtful observation accessible to all. There is a childrens' room with tiles that make noise--our children were surprised and amazed at this. More

I often visit art galleries when I visit cities and this was no exception. It had some wonderful art and some peculiar art. It is an amazing building, but a reasonably small collection. More

Having visited many of the worlds best Art galleries I would have to say it is a good thing this one has and interesting building although lacking in wall space. The choices of artists and art work I have seen in the 5 or 6 visits i have made to the Edmonton Art Galley almost constantly dissappoint. I would love... More
