It’s all happening this month at your AGA! Survival Guide closes with a final performance; Vibe warms up with live music, tapas and drinks; bidders get ready to party with purpose at Art on the Block; art lovers build and create in Art & Motion; and visitors are invited to explore a special Alberta Biennial edition of Art for Lunch.
To participate in your AGA’s programming, events and education classes is easy and fun. With all of the vibrant and interactive activities planned, make sure the gallery is one of your prime destinations this May.
