Organizer

Art Gallery of Algoma

The Art Gallery of Algoma was founded as a non-profit public art gallery and incorporated on July 7, 1975. Established by a group of dedicated volunteers and arts enthusiasts led by Elsie Savoie, the AGA honours its roots as a community organization with its mission celebrating culture, educating visitors, and enriching lives through the visual arts. The AGA moved to its present location next to the scenic and historic St. Mary’s River in 1980, a 10,000-square-foot facility including four exhibition spaces, the Ken Danby Education Studio, the Gallery Cafe and Gallery Shop. Over the last 50 years, the permanent collection has grown to over 5,500 artworks by many wellknown Canadian Artists.
