The long history of the AGA – as with all public galleries and museums – is interconnected with the lives and histories of individuals who love and collect art. As part of the AGA’s 100th anniversary celebrations, this exhibition brings together more than 75 works of art on loan from private art collections across Alberta. Featuring a selection of works as varied as the collecting visions as the people who have lent them, A Look Within provides a view into the wide range of approaches, passions and interests that drive practices of collecting.
