We’re throwing our members a bone with an exclusive, first-of-its-kind event at the Art Gallery of Alberta! On Sunday, March 16, bring your four-legged best friend (on a leash, of course) for a special pilot experience exploring the gallery in a whole new way.
Exclusive Gallery Access: 9:00 am to 11:00 am
Please note: 10:30am is the last admission to ensure sufficient time to visit exhibitions. We kindly ask you to leave by 11:00am when the AGA opens to the general public.
Tickets: $10+GST (includes up to 2 people and 1 dog)
What’s the scoop?
- Drop in self-guided visit where you and your pup can explore the gallery together
- An opportunity to bring a non-member friend—because great experiences are meant to be shared
- A one-of-a-kind morning designed just for our valued members
- We kindly ask that a waiver be signed
This special pilot event is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Second Street Fund, helping us explore new ways to make the AGA an even more engaging and inclusive space for our community.
*Please monitor your dogs’ health and behavior and attend responsibly.
**AGA reserves the right to ask guests to leave if there is a problem.
