We’ve extended the exhibitions allowing for a full month to enjoy The Pathos of Mandy Walter Scott; Inuuqatikka: My Dear Relations; B-Side Agnes Etherington: Paul Litherland; From Tudor to Hanover: British Portraits, 1590–1800; Quest for Colour: Five Centuries of Innovation in Printmaking and The Art of African Ivory. Sandra Brewster: Blur will remain installed through September 2021.

“We are confident that AGNES can provide safe space for connecting with and enjoying art,” says Alicia Boutilier, Interim Director and Chief Curator. “Staff have been working diligently to ensure that everything runs smoothly and we have a few changes in place for your comfort and safety.”
