Pavilion Art Galleries
The Pavilion Art Galleries are open daily from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
One of Winnipeg's most recognizable and beloved landmarks, The Pavilion has served as the heart of Assiniboine Park for over 100 years.
The original building was constructed in 1908, one year before the Park officially opened, and replaced with the current structure in 1930 following a fire.
Today, the beautifully restored Pavilion is home to the largest collections of works by renowned Manitoba artists Ivan Eyre, Walter J. Phillips, and Clarence Tillenius. Through WAG@ThePark, a partnership with the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG), Park visitors enjoy free entry to expertly curated exhibitions, drawn largely from the Conservancy's collection, as well as from the WAG's vast holdings.
Ivan Eyre Gallery (3rd Floor)
The Idea of Trees
This exhibition celebrates the experience of rediscovery with Ivan Eyre’s landscapes, underlining the feeling that with each encounter, the same work offers something new, something unexpected. The show brings together a group of paintings spanning fifty years of artistic production. While the drawing is the source of much of the visual vocabulary that informs Eyre’s figurative works, this is not the case with the landscapes. They are their own – his own – genre: compositions created largely from the artist’s imagination and his countless encounters with nature.
John P Crabb Gallery (2nd Floor)
Walter J. Phillips: Commemorating Our Connections
This exhibition contains works from the Assiniboine Park Collection and the WAG-Qaumajuq collections to explore the many ways in which artists have created objects that contribute to, and are an affirmation of, celebrations and rituals of togetherness.
Community Gallery (2nd Floor)
Collective Collaboration
One Collective is a group of artists who have known each other for many years. Their goal is to support and engage with each other, explore new ideas and push our creativity to the next level. Collective Collaboration is the first exhibition in this creative journey.
Pooh Gallery (2nd Floor)
“The Best Bear in All the World”: The Many Sides of Winnie-the-Pooh
This exhibition brings together objects, archives, and works of art drawn from the collection of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy, Colebourn Family Archive, and the Archive of Modern Conflict to sift through the elements of fact, fiction, and fantasy that together comprise the multilayered identity of Winnie-the-Pooh.
