VISUAL ARTS

The Confederation Centre Art Gallery (CCAG) offers engaging exhibitions of Canadian visual art. Enjoy a short visit or spend the whole afternoon in the CCAG’s spacious setting and discover a wide range of exhibitions, from modern design to historical pieces.

Generations: The Sobey Family and Canadian Art tells the story of one family’s visionary engagement with Canadian and Indigenous art. It braids together works by early European newcomers, titans of Canadian 20th century art, a rich display by the Québec Impressionists and Les Automatistes, as well as trailblazing artists of today, including contemporary Indigenous artists.

Human Capital presents work that offers insight into the impact of Canada’s immigration policies and history. It explores how the country treats humans as capital, and the role it plays in shaping the complex and contested formation of a “Canadian identity”.

These and other exhibitions can be found across three sprawling levels of the CCAG and throughout the Centre’s concourse. Admission is by donation.
