Seasons go with the changes at Agnes 2021: What does an art centre centre?
Agnes is a portal where we see across all directions and temporalities at once. This year, constellations of exhibitions rotate, relate and proliferate on a space-time continuum.
No longer tethered to galleries defined by time periods and curatorial modalities that categorize and separate, Agnes is set free. Join in our ex-centric trajectory toward new museological futurities.
Reopening 7 August. See summer hours and visit soon.

Behind-the-Scenes
The Sleeping Congregation is a print by William Hogarth dated 1762. To prepare the print for the exhibition Humour Me, Queen’s University Masters of Arts Conservation student Sandrine Blais (MAC’22) treated the engraving. Since both the upper corners of the print were missing, Blais digitally created and printed new corners to replace them.
