I recently visited the museum gallery with my kids on a free Sunday, and it was truly an amazing experience. The grand entrance of the "Color Therapy" exhibit was both inviting and vibrant, with its seamless blending of white space and a mishmash of captivating colors. It was heartening to see a dedicated area for kids to create their own art, adding a wonderful touch of interactivity. However, my personal highlight was undoubtedly the section featuring Victorian, realism, and classic portraits. These portraits eloquently painted a rich tapestry of history, and I found myself engrossed in reading the backstories that accompanied each piece. The depth and attention to detail in these artworks were truly impressive. Another captivating exhibit was the indigenous art display, which provided a poignant lens into the truth and reconciliation of past hurts. It was an eye-opening experience, and I felt a deep sense of connection to the stories told through the art. Spending time in this section left me feeling enlightened and more aware of the struggles and resilience of indigenous communities. The museum also offered a haven for relaxation and unwinding. I could easily spend an entire afternoon there, away from the constant buzz of technology, feeling refreshed and calm. One of the highlights for my kids was the scavenger hunt for indigenous art pieces, which added an element of excitement and engagement for them. My only wish is that there were more interactive activities like the scavenger hunt. These activities would undoubtedly enhance the overall experience for both children and adults, making the museum visit even more immersive and memorable. All in all, our visit to the museum gallery was an enriching and enjoyable experience. From the captivating color therapy exhibit to the thought-provoking Victorian portraits and the eye-opening indigenous art display, the museum provided a well-rounded and engaging journey through art and history. It's a place that both educates and inspires, making it a must-visit for families seeking a blend of culture, history, and creativity.

We were booked by a bride and groom this past weekend to capture some fun memories with our Photo Booth. The WAG is an incredibly beautiful venue for any event but the wedding set-up was so amazing! There was a bit of an issue with our area we were to set-up in but Tessa was so helpful, friendly and went above and beyond to assist us to make sure we would be up and running in time. (Our 1.5 hour set-up and 2 hour run time turned into a 9 hour day) usually this would annoy us but honestly Tessa and her staff were so good that we accepted the inconvenience. The evening was beautiful, romantic and in my opinion a dream! As we started we had a few unexpected issues with the lighting in the area we were set-up and the lady working that evening was incredible at helping us to come up with a work around. She continued to check on us through out the night and was also amazing. Many of the issues that we had were due to our first time setting up at the venue and both the venue and us not knowing the space/set-up. I would 100 percent recommend this venue for any event. Not only is the WAG an exceptional venue the staff are over the top helpful, friendly and a pleasure to work with!!

March 2023 I am not an art gallery lover, but today as a tourist in Winnipeg, my day was enjoyable. Admission on the second Sunday of every month is free thanks to Canada Life. The museum was apparently busier than usual, but not crowded. The main floor has an impressive collection of indigenous sculptures. Then the upper floors have permanent and temporary exhibits like any other gallery. The 150th Anniversary exhibit of the Winnipeg Free Press was my favourite area because I could relate to it. Interesting information, and a table where one could create a newspaper article using stamp pads and crayons. There was also a book reading that day in the main floor atrium of a children's book read by the author. She was inspired to write this book by her daughters. This was well attended by patrons, and the book was available to purchase, and of course it could be signed by the author. The gift store had amazing items to purchase at mostly amazing prices. Often original or unique pieces are for display only. Not here though. One could purchase a beautiful original carving for as little as $23,000 CDN. Moccasins, posters, artwork, books, jewelry.....
