Events and programs currently scheduled by the AGA have been canceled or postponed.

Our staff will reach out to you in the next few days and work with you to make the best arrangements possible. The AGA will continue to monitor the situation and follow directives given by our Government and its agencies. Our staff will continue to work in the Gallery space and/or remotely as required. We will be responding to phone calls and emails. In addition, we will keep you posted regarding re-opening and scheduling of upcoming events through our website, by e-mail and/or through social media platforms. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your understanding as we get through this difficult situation together. Thank you for your support through this difficult time.
