- Invites artists from the city and region to exhibit, speak about their work, and share their creative skills through a range of engagement activities.
- Offers school children from Grades 2 to 12 early experience of the visual arts through our popular school tour/workshop program and our virtual tours.
- Creates opportunities for art making for people of all ages and abilities.
- Provides creative programming – both in the Gallery and in community settings – to engage youth, adults facing addiction challenges, and post-secondary students in visual art, education, and ESL programs.
