The Art Gallery of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respect this as the traditional and contemporary  land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.

Friends of the AGA

Meet our friends! We have asked some wonderful people from across Alberta to share their love of the AGA Collection through a series of personal anecdotes and memories. Their stories of the artists and artworks they’re passionate about speak to the many ways viewing art can transform our lives. Please make a donation in support of these, and the many other outstanding artists, the AGA is proud to collect and exhibit!
