About

The Art Gallery of Algoma invites you to “Welcome, Newcomers, to the Soo!”—a special event celebrating the rich cultural diversity of our community.

Enjoy a guided tour of our current exhibition, with a focus on one meaningful element of Canadian art. Then, we invite newcomers to share something from their own culture—whether it’s a piece of art, a creative activity, a poem, or a song.

This event is a space to connect, create, and celebrate the many cultures that make Sault Ste. Marie vibrant and unique.

Join us for this free, inclusive celebration of culture and community—part of the province-wide Ontario Culture Days festival!
