Three Phases

I. Build the Collection Services Facility
The creation of a state-of-the-art off-site collection storage facility to improve the care and conservation of the AGA’s permanent collection of 7000 treasured artworks, valued at close to $33 million. The Collection Services Facility (CSF) became operational in December 2006; a renovation that produced 18,000 square feet of museum quality-controlled environment at an off-site location in downtown Edmonton.

The new facility has almost doubled the storage capacity the artwork previously occupied in the old vaults. It includes specialized environmentally controlled storage vaults that are specifically designed for various types of artworks. The CSF also offers the capacity for staff to work more productively in areas like the TREX traveling exhibition programs and digitalization of the collection.

II. Establish an Interim Gallery
The new interim Gallery and administrative offices (during the renovation of the old building) is at Enterprise Square (formerly the Hudson Bay Building), is in the core of downtown Edmonton’s business, shopping and entertainment districts. A creative and synergistic collaboration with the University of Alberta, Enterprise Square offers 11,000 square feet of newly renovated gallery space, as well as specifically designed studio classrooms, and art sales & rental storefront. The interim gallery opened and launched a bold inaugural exhibit on April 14, 2007 with China Sensation: New Art from Chengdu.

III. New Building
The new building on Sir Winston Churchill Square will open in early 2010, in the heart of Edmonton’s Arts District. This architectural icon will draw visitors from around the world with twice the former gallery space (25-30,000 sq. ft.), a doubling of educational classrooms for programming, and extensive facility usage opportunities. With optimal environmental conditions for installations, the AGA will attract more of the most sought-after touring art exhibitions. Construction is on schedule.

Who we Are
Founded in 1924, the Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) is the oldest cultural institution in Alberta and the only museum in the province strictly devoted to the exhibition and preservation of art and visual culture. Serving both the city of Edmonton and the province of Alberta, the Gallery maintains a collection of over 5,000 objects and presents an ongoing series of contemporary and historical exhibitions with related educational and public programming.

The Art Gallery of Alberta is creating a new gallery—a “New Vision” for Alberta’s capital. After a global architectural competition, Los Angeles based Randall Stout Architects, Inc. was selected to design the new gallery. With opening exhibitions in early 2010, the new AGA will be an almost 8000 square metre (85,000 square foot) premier presentation venue for international and Canadian art, education and scholarship. The new AGA will be a centre of excellence for the visual arts in Western Canada in the 21st century, expressing the creative spirit of Alberta.
Mission

Vision

The Art Gallery of Alberta creates a welcoming and engaging environment where people are motivated to transform their understanding of the world by connecting with the visual arts.
