“The WAG strives to be a welcoming place in the community, especially during the ongoing pandemic, where people, alone or together, can meet, relax, and be inspired. There has perhaps never been a more critical time to offer uplifting and safe spaces in our communities for learning, enjoyment, and dialogue through the arts. We are excited to share our incredible line-up of exhibitions and programs leading up to the opening of the WAG Inuit Art Centre with Winnipegers and Manitobans. Thank you to Canada Life for helping the WAG open its door to more people, making the Gallery even more accessible for all.”
—Dr. Stephen Borys, Director & CEO, Winnipeg Art Gallery
“At Canada Life, we believe access to arts and culture can help improve a person’s overall wellbeing. We’re proud to give Manitobans from all walks of life the opportunity to discover the creativity, history and stories of Indigenous, Canadian and world-famous artists through Canada Life Free Sundays@WAG. We hope the community will take advantage of the galleries and family-friendly activities to explore art in a hands-on way and enjoy browsing the fascinating works by artists like L.L. FitzGerald.”
—Debbie Down, Director - Community Relations, Canada Life
