Art Gallery Of Southwestern Manitoba — Attraction in Brandon

Hello,

I am from Regina, Saskatchewan and took a different longer route to reach my destination in order to visit your shop to make a purchase. I checked your website which indicated that you be closed from the 24th of December until January 2nd. As I was travelling on the 23rd, we rerouted our trip so we could stop in Brandon. En route, I phoned and the answering machine also indicated that your shop was open.

When we arrived at your gallery, I was very disappointed to find out that, though both your website and your phone message indicated you would be open, you were not.

This is the second time that we have made this trip and attempted to visit your business. We will not be taking the extra miles to visit this...

Looking for something to keep the family entertained we went the AGSWO. it is inside the town centre on the second floor so we had some confusion finding it. They have a reasonably large main galley room and a hallway gallery and a gift shop. The primary exhibition was equally impressive and disturbing. The craft of the art was high for the most part bur the subject matter was largely lost on me. As an Engineer I am probably not even close to appreciating the message. However as I said it was generally well crafted I am sure it is a challenge to find exhibits for a small gallery such as this but I personally would choose more...

What a great little gallery. Was visiting with family and had heard Derry Dector (artist) being interviewed on CBC so added a visit to our weekend. This artist work was display in a long hall way. The little shop with some local and other MB artist work was an added feature. Hope the powers that be will continue to support galleries like this...
