ART GALLERY

ALGONQUIN ART CENTRE

The Algonquin Art Centre is a world-class art gallery that showcases some of Canada’s foremost wilderness and wildlife artists. Located in one of Canada’s most beautiful provincial parks, the AAC is built upon a long tradition of artists in Algonquin Park from Tom Thomson to Robert Bateman. By displaying the newest works by Canada’s top artistic talent, the burgeoning of this tradition can be enjoyed by visitors and art lovers from all over the world.
Open June 1, 2010.

Change: An Artist's Perspective

Each year, we develop new themes for the gallery, which have ranged from artist’s trips to the Park interior to wolf studies. This year, we have tried something completely different and are delighted to introduce you to Change: An Artist’s Perspective. With environmental issues weighing more and more on the international conscience, and with the 2010 G8 summit being held right outside Algonquin Park, the AAC has decided to take an innovative approach to one of the summit’s central issues: environmental change. We look forward to sharing with you an artist’s perspective on change, not only as it effects our environment, but ourselves.

Gifts & Souvenirs

The Algonquin Art Centre has a fully-stocked Gallery Boutique gift shop which features a wide selection of Canadian-made, eco-friendly souvenirs. The shop alone is well worth the trip into the park.

Our Mission Statement

Occupying a unique position as art gallery, tourist attraction, historical monument and education centre, the Algonquin Art Centre has, as its primary mandate, the exposure of Canada's finest wilderness and wildlife art to the visitors of Algonquin Park.

In addition, we promote environmental awareness and the role of art in raising such awareness: wildlife preservation, care for the environment, minimizing waste and energy consumption, recycling, forest stewardship and cultivation of biological diversity are among the key issues of concern at our gallery. We hope that with reflection and attention to our artists’ perspectives and statements about the natural world, each visitor will leave not only with a renewed impression of the Canadian arts, but with a refreshed ecological outlook.
