Patron Fund: Enabling Signature Curatorial Programming

As a Patron Fund supporter, you help bring signature curatorial programming to life at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. Your annual contribution provides significant support that strengthens exhibitions, supports curatorial development, and expands what the Gallery is able to present.

Patron Supporters are invited to three private previews each year, offering early access to Gallery 1 exhibition openings, and two collection talks at the Gallery with artists, curators, and invited guests.

With a gift of $1,000+, you become part of a group that helps shape how art is experienced at the AGNS. Recognition details and full program information can be found here.

“Our annual support honours Perry’s legacy as an AGNS volunteer guide. He loved talking with visitors about art and believed every conversation could open something new.” – The Nodelman Family

I was thrilled to support the inaugural emerging artist program in 2024-25 with a standout exhibition featuring the work of Séamus Gallagher. This dynamic platform fosters artists early in their career, and it’s also a front-row seat to the future of contemporary art, bringing AGNS visitors leading-edge work straight from the artist’s studio. – Jules Chamberlain · NICE MOVES · Red Door Realty
