Winnipeg Art Gallery & Culture Days Manitoba

Founded in 1912, the WAG is Canada’s first civic art gallery. Housed in an iconic modernist building in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, your WAG has grown into one of the country’s leading visual art museums with an international reputation.

This is a critical time in the history of the Gallery as we prepare for the 2020 opening of the WAG Inuit Art Centre, future home of the largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world.

The WAG features an impressive collection of over 27,000 artworks spanning centuries, cultures, and media. We are at the forefront of promoting Manitoba and Canadian artists nationwide and abroad. Our exhibitions are supported by a diverse mix of programs, events, and partnerships.

Learning is at the heart of the WAG with one of the oldest gallery-run art-making programs in the country. WAG Studio offers courses for children, teens, and youth. While you’re here, find something inspired at ShopWAG. And consider hosting your next event in one of our unique rental spaces.
