Art galleries in Edmonton

Edmonton, AB has 10 art galleries on the map. That's 10 galleries mapped around Edmonton. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Many are free to enter, so the only cost of a gallery afternoon is your time.

This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Edmonton (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Borealis Gallery and Stollery Gallery, plus Peter Robertson Gallery. If a gallery's missing from Edmonton's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Gallery tips for Edmonton

Gallery-going in Edmonton? A few habits help:

• Buy the catalogue at Borealis Gallery. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
• Ask about the price list at Stollery Gallery. It's normal to ask, even if you're not buying. It tells you how the market values the work.
• Check accessibility. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
• Kids are welcome (usually). Most galleries are fine with children; the contemporary ones especially. Call ahead if you're unsure.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Edmonton — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Edmonton can take a while to appear. The 10 above are only as current as the community map. A art gallery that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 10 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
