Atelier Circle

Atelier Circle guests at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia

Framing the Future of Art

The AGNS has ambitious plans. Our strategic plan, Framing the Future, launched a new chapter for the AGNS, one that strengthens Nova Scotia as a beacon for the visual arts and places the Gallery as a leading centre for contemporary arts and cultural exchange not just in Atlantic Canada but on both national and international platforms. The Atelier Circle is making this work possible.

Elevating Artistic Innovation

An exciting, reenvisioned exhibition program is elevating Nova Scotia through the visual arts, amplifying the voices of regional artists and bringing exciting, innovative practices to the province.

A Reimagined Gallery Experience

Across the Gallery the visitor experience is being reimagined. Visitors can look forward to a more accessible, welcoming, and technology-enhanced experience designed to deepen connections to art and each other.

By building a diverse and engaged team, reducing our dependency on single-source funding, and advancing Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives, we are working towards our long-term sustainability while fostering a sense of belonging for all Nova Scotians.

Make A Transformative Investment

Leadership and major gifts to the Gallery pledged through the Atelier Circle serve as catalysts for change and build sustainable funding for the AGNS’s highest priority projects. High impact short-term funding opportunities and long-term philanthropic commitments work together to help the AGNS achieve our goals.

Contact us to learn how your philanthropic investments can make art and art experiences accessible through meaningful giving opportunities.
