Through four bold objectives the AGNS will focus on contemporary art and conversations while developing its collection and exhibition program to showcase global themes from Nova Scotia’s uniquely local perspective. This approach will highlight the region’s contributions to global art conversations. Through transatlantic partnerships, the Gallery will enhance cultural exchange and broaden its regional and global impact, while also delivering leading art experiences to Nova Scotians, boosting the Gallery’s visibility and elevating the province’s cultural profile.

Objective 1: Evolve the Permanent Collection to support an engaging exhibition program that connects global themes with Nova Scotia’s story.

Objective 2: Build partnerships across the North Atlantic to expand cultural exchange and increase the visibility of Nova Scotia’s art and culture.

Objective 3: Bring leading national and international artwork, artists, and exhibitions to Nova Scotia.

Objective 4: Develop an enhanced physical space for the AGNS that stands as a leading hub of excellence in the visual arts.
