What do prairie boredom, staycation holidays, and growing up in Winnipeg have in common? Apparently… comedy. 👀

This WAG Wednesday Night, stay close and laugh loud with a comedy night inspired by Staycation - an exhibition exploring what it means to remain here, create here, and find value in the cultural worlds already around us.

Join us for an evening of local stories, prairie humour, and the kind of inside jokes only Winnipeggers truly understand with Barney Morin, Sarah Jane Martin, Kaitlynn Brightnose, Danielle Kayahara, and Jeff Gobeil.

✨ Because sometimes the best stories happen five minutes from home.

📍 May 20
🎟 FREE ENTRY (5–9PM)
🚪 5PM – Doors open

Your plants deserve better than a plastic pot. 🌿

Spend your Sunday night getting your hands dirty at #WAGSTUDIO and create a handmade ceramic planter that’s as unique as the plants sitting in it. Learn the basics of slab-building, experiment with underglaze decoration techniques, and leave with a one-of-a-kind piece made entirely by you.

No experience needed; just come ready to create, unwind, and try something new. ✨

Better yet? Bring a friend and make a night of it. Use code CLAYMATE at checkout to save $5 on each ticket when purchasing 2 or more tickets.

What shapes identity? Place, memory, movement or the spaces we move through?

Join Nestor Wynrush @nesswynrush for an evening that invites you to experience the gallery differently. Through a community tour and live performance, Wynrush explores how identity is constructed, challenged, and continuously reimagined through our relationship to place and the body.

The evening culminates in a powerful gallery performance incorporating sound, spoken word, a sampler, wheelchair, and deconstructed artificial limbs; transforming the space into a site of reflection, resistance, and storytelling.

✨ A midweek invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and connect through art.

Motherhood is an art form all its own.

In quiet moments, in care passed from one generation to the next, in play, protection, tenderness, and tradition - there is creativity woven into everyday acts of love, as seen here in this drawing by Omalluq Oshutsiaq – now on view in Giizhig, Qaumajuq’s top gallery.

Join us this Mother’s Day at WAG-Qaumajuq for a day of creativity and community during our Canada Life @canadalifeco Free Sunday. Explore the galleries, enjoy guided tours, and create paper flowers with our facilitators in a hands-on, art-making activity inspired by the return of sunshine, warmth, and spring blooms.

🌸 Free admission all day
🎨 Art-making activity: 11am–4:30pm
👩‍👧‍👦 All ages welcome
Drop-in Tours of the Abraham Anghik Ruben Exhibition: 1-2pm (English) and 3-4pm (French)

Celebrate the artistry of motherhood with us.

Thank you @canada.council for supporting the tour of this powerful exhibition curated by @anecdotia , one of the first of its kind in a Canadian context to thoroughly meditate on the subject of motherhood.

Today, on Red Dress Day, we honour and remember Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2Spirit+ people.

Sisters in Spirit (2025), created by Iris Lauzon @iriselauzon (Inniniw, York Factory), stands as a powerful act of remembrance, resilience, and love. Made with satin, silk, chiffon, quill, caribou tufting, dyed bone, vinyl, and glass seed beads, the work carries both material and meaning- each detail a reflection of lives that must never be forgotten.

Created for Manitoba Moon Voices @manitobamoonvoicesinc , the dress honours those taken too soon and the families and communities who continue to carry their stories. Its name, gifted by Beverley Courchene, speaks to connection, spirit, and collective memory.

At WAG-Qaumajuq, we stand in remembrance, in solidarity, and in commitment to supporting efforts to making the community safer for Indigenous women, girls and 2Spirit+ people.
