The AGN presents intellectually stimulating exhibitions that spark conversations, inspire creativity and enlighten the minds of all-ages. The AGN is committed to nurturing and promoting Canadian artists, and we strive to exhibit works that advance critical enquiry and community connection to contemporary visual arts.
The Art Gallery of Northumberland (AGN) celebrates 60 years in 2020. We are honouring this milestone with an exhibition featuring some unseen collection treasures, familiar classics and predictable favourites.
Toronto based artist Michael Adamson approached this exhibition with the idea of creating a suite of contemporary paintings that reflect aspects of the AGN’s Permanent Collection.
Inspired by the landscapes of eastern Ontario and the traces of its earlier agricultural settlement, Felicity Somerset and Peter Large have created a collection of drawings and photographs.
The large installation is comprised of thousands of these pieces installed by single threads hanging from the gallery ceiling creating a field of flowers and a field of colour.
This fall we celebrate our 41st Juried Exhibition offering participating artists both exposure to the Northumberland County community, as well as an opportunity to meet fellow artists, encourage activity in the visual arts and most importantly support artists.
