The Annual Members’ Show and Sale at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba is a testament to the enduring spirit of our gallery’s foundation—borne from the desire of a small group of people who, 118 years ago, came together in the paired belief that the visual arts are a crucial nutrient in life that are better shared. While tradition anchors us, it’s the inventive sparks ignited by our artists that keep the gallery forever relevant. This event celebrates not only our rich history, but also the boundless creativity of our community.

Please join us in celebrating with food, music, and an art exhibition of recent work by our members. Always inspiring, it is a reflection of our collective journey—forever rooted, and constantly growing.

Important dates for those participating in this exhibition:

• Complete and submit the Artwork Submission form before November 20

*The gift of original, local art is a great way to tell the people you care about how much they mean to you during the holiday season. If an artwork is purchased as a holiday gift, the AGSM will provide a high-quality print of the work on a blank card before we close for the holidays on December 23 and delivery of the artwork within Brandon after January 9, 2026.
