"Winnipeg Art Gallery"
The Winnipeg Art Gallery.
Winnipeg's galleries and museums are taking a slower approach to reopening, despite provincial restrictions loosening on July 17.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery and its Inuit art centre, Qaumajuq, will not reopen until Aug. 14. The gallery will welcome visitors back for the inaugural Winnipeg Indigenous Triennial with the exhibition Naadohbii: To Draw Water. It focuses on Indigenous connections to water and includes more than 20 artists from Canada, the United States, Australia and Aotearoa – the Māori name for New Zealand.
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is reopening July 27 for fully immunized visitors. The public can book timed entry tickets online. One of several exhibitions on display is Artivism, which features artist activists who work for change and awareness through their art.
The Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art will reopen July 19, by appointment only. To make an appointment, email info@plugin.org.
Urban Shaman, an artist-run centre that shows Indigenous art, will open July 17, by appointment. Masks, sign in and hand sanitation are required when visiting. Shows include Mide-wigwas: Transmediating by Angelina McLeod and Healing Dance by Kris Snowbird. To book an appointment, email info@urbanshaman.org.
