The Contemporary Art Gallery is an independent, non-profit public art gallery and one of Canada’s leading venues for contemporary art. Offering free access to everyone, they work with artists from Canada and around the world to produce exhibitions, off-site projects, residencies, learning, outreach, community engagement programs, events and publications. Each of these interdependent strands of programming varies in scale, duration and location to challenge how and where they might engage with contemporary visual art. Tues to Sun noon - 6 pm
