My friends who just celebrated their 25th anniversary were married at the WAG so I love that weddings are still being held here. After living in other cities and coming home, I also really appreciate the unique architecture that is so distinctly "Winnipeg".
The gallery itself is lovely for showcasing art. It has a nice media area to display cinematic presentations (I remember watching the Cannes commercial festivals here). There are amazing jazz concerts to check out too. -

I visited the WAG at the end of September to check out the European Renaissance and Baroque art exhibit.
The gallery itself seemed pretty dead, and there wasn't a whole lot to see. Some of the exhibits were not open to the public yet, so I guess we picked a bad time to go.
There was a lot of Canadian art, of course. The gift shop is pretty great, I love all the artsy post-cards you can buy, and the book selection was decent as well.
The sculpture garden on the roof is cool, not just for the sculptures, but just to hang out and enjoy the sun!
Admission is $10! -

Well, I can't comment on the art here because I didn't get a chance to look around but it is a gorgeous venue to put on a wedding. I was here for a wedding recently, that was catered by Storm (exclusive caterer of the WAG amongst other places). The ceremony was held on the rooftop next to the WAG's restaurant. The rooftop is nothing special - considering that it's used for such special occasions, you'd think they'd incorporate some interesting plants or flowers. The view isn't super nice either as you face the Investor's Group Building and the Bay. So it's an average area for a ceremony unless you're willing to put in more decorative items. Otherwise, it feels kinda bare.
The Ferdinand Eckardt Hall straight in from the main entrance is a really unique and pretty venue for a reception. The space features tyndall stone floors and walls, a 21-foot cathedral ceiling and a visual art display. It fits 200 people nicely and feels quite intimate despite the scale of the space. It's also really nice that the gallery allows guests to wander around until 11 pm. It's nice to be able to get away from the party for a bit and see the collections.
