We were wowed by the variety of vendors from delicious food to eat there to meats fresh, smoked or canned, preserves of every description, sweets, breads, giftware of all descriptions, clothing from head to foot. I was interested in getting some alpaca wool I wanted for a project and found a lovely selection and you could buy finished articles as well. We also bought some fabulous vegetables at reasonable prices. We’ll be back

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the AGA! Art enthusiasts that we are, we booked a guided tour and painting lesson via email ahead of time and we were so glad we did. Upon arrival at the gallery, we were made to feel so welcome by Megumi, who was also so very helpful booking our tour and lesson via email in advance. Samantha, one of the gallery's summer students, did a wonderful job giving us a guided tour of the exhibit that celebrates Canada 150 through a chronological journey, highlighting Canadian artists and those inspired by Canadian artists and landscapes. Their Group of Seven collection is fabulous and gave us insight into a wider variety of Group of Seven artists than we had previously known. Great Indigenous Art presence as well as some beautiful selections from local artists. The large watercolour of Sault Ste Marie by John Hartman that is on display in the front foyer is particularly stunning. After a quick visit to the gift shop (wonderful variety of treasures) we were given coffee by Megumi and then went outside to have our Group of Seven inspired art lesson with Morgan, another summer student. Both she and Samantha were so incredibly friendly and personable and such wonderful representation of their community. Both are University Art students and their passion and enthusiasm was so refreshing. We spent close to two hours painting outdoors with them, talking about acrylic techniques and various Group of Seven styles of painting landscapes. We were given brushes and sketching pencils and mini-canvases to keep and thoroughly enjoyed our time outdoors, overlooking St. Mary's River. If you love galleries as much as we do you will enjoy this lovely little spot. General admission is $7 and if you are looking for a fun, creative activity, we highly recommend the lesson and guided tour experience that we chose for $30 each. Not everyone's type of activity but definitely worth it to us.
