The Southern Alberta Art Gallery Maansiksikaitsitapiitsinikssin (SAAG) has begun work on a major $7.7 million modernization and expansion project. The revitalization project includes a new park-side entrance and patio connecting to Galt Gardens, an upgraded Lower Gallery, a mixed-use workshop for exhibition building, programs and events; and an outdoor space called The Listening Garden. “This project creates a variety of new spaces to host our expanding and increasingly diverse audiences. The design is being led by Dialog and the project is scheduled to reopen in spring 2028. The environment within the Lower Gallery is being upgraded to achieve Class A museum standards, allowing the venue to host high-value, sensitive national and international traveling collections.
