The Owens Art Gallery is the oldest university art gallery in Canada, opened to the public in 1895. Our objectives are to provide a wide range of professional visual arts programming to Mount Allison University’s students, staff and alumni, and to serve as a significant, integral component of a liberal arts education. At the same time the Gallery is actively integrated into the wider cultural landscape locally, nationally and internationally.
The Owens is a place where you will encounter lively, innovative artwork, discover your own history, meet artists, engage with your community, and have fun.
The Owens Art Gallery acknowledges the generous support of all its funders, including Mount Allison University, Canada Council for the Arts, the New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, the Town of Sackville New Brunswick and the Friends of the Owens.
