Dalhousie Art Gallery

The Dalhousie Art Gallery is a public art gallery, an academic support unit within the educational and research context of Dalhousie University, and a cultural resource for the whole community.

The gallery offers a balanced program of travelling and in-house curated exhibitions of both contemporary and historical artworks, and a related program of artists’ presentations, lectures, panel discussions, films and videos, and other special events, and provides the University with a fine arts component that would otherwise be absent: a location where aesthetic appreciation and criticism may develop and where related cultural issues may be examined. Professional Gallery staff conduct an ongoing program of research, display, and interpretation of artworks, and publication of scholarly catalogues, exhibition brochures and educational materials.
