This is a centre of excellence for the visual arts in Western Canada, linking people, art, and ideas. The strength of the Gallery's contemporary Collection lies mainly in the field of abstract painting and sculpture in Canada, with a heavy focus on the artists' work. Acquisitions also included significant works by Alberta contemporary artists Catherine Burgess, Allen Ball, Chris Cran, Clay Ellis, Douglas Haynes, and more. The Gallery also continues to draw on the Collection's strengths through acquisitions by renowned Canadian artists. Here, admission is free for AGA members, youth 0-17, and Alberta students 18+.
