Art Gallery of Algoma president and executive director will discuss their vision for a new gallery building in Clergue Park. Feasibility study reveals the need for a new building due to the current gallery's disrepair and capacity limitations. The proposed building will showcase Dr. Bondar's photographic collection.
Art Gallery of Algoma president Mark Lepore and Jasmina Jovanovic, executive director, will be at Monday's city council meeting to talk about their vision for a new 'landmark' gallery building in Clergue Park.
Its operations and growth have exceeded its capacity and it no longer meets current functional or technical standards for art galleries. The proposed new building would be about 30,000 square feet and board members hope it will showcase the photographic collection of Dr. Bondar, Canada's first female astronaut.The feasibility study found that AGA is understaffed compared to other art galleries, and investment in staff is needed to build capacity for a capital project and ongoing operations.
