Framing the Future

Strategic Overview
Nova Scotia has been and remains inextricably tied to the sea. The waters of the North Atlantic have connected communities across Mi’kma’ki and other parts of the world since time immemorial. This lengthy history of dialogue and exchange has transformed this land, and our great harbour in Kjipuktuk continues to influence the trajectory of our nation to this very day.
Through carefully curated exhibitions, innovative programs, strategic partnerships, and an expanded permanent collection, the AGNS encourages deep conversations and engagement across the North Atlantic while inviting participation and strengthening impact.
As a North Atlantic leader in the visual arts, the AGNS is committed to creating meaningful connections. With a variety of funding sources, a skilled team, and a strong collection, the AGNS is well positioned to lead, innovate, and advance cultural discussions on both national and international levels.
