MASQUE

Excellent display of beautiful courses and art related to the growing, and blooming, cultures of our town.

Katherine Sunday

Wonderful school, family and community programming.

Carolina Miranda

The curation at KWAG is always impecable. The renovations look amazing making the building even more inviting. The commitment to art done by women and people of colour is visible everywhere and I hope they keep it up. There are several outreach programs and entrance is free. A jewel in the Waterloo region.

Barry Smylie

Poor quality exhibitions. Nothing worthy of an illustrative telephone snap shot on this, my first visit. Seemingly follow the leader, grant provider, old school politics and therefore not much for collectors, serious advanced students of art, and the general public.

Eric Siegfriedt

Free admission!

Neil Cooney

Helpful staff. Excellent collections!

Small but interestingly curated. Admission is free. Would be interested to have more about K/W represented in what is on display. Hope it can expand its visible collection in the near future.

Hagherino

It is clean and nice facility and the reception is hospital and polite. It contains a lot of arts, mainly paintings. I did had good experience, would have been more nice if there were a devoted guide that share information regarding the art product, if there were a lot of realism copy or original of Canadian or foreigner landscape paintings for exhibit.

Terre Chartrand

Excellent small public gallery. Shows that take risks and traditional worlds collide under this roof.

Barry Grant

Not much to see. Currently under construction.

Sydney & Vanessa Davies

I just went here yesterday with my daughter's JK class. I have not been there since I was a little girl. I will be visiting there more often as well!

Randall Culp

Just fine if you enjoy art??????

Liam Winegard

A small art gallery, with an interesting collection. One unexpected highlight was a thought provoking movie, about the site of the first ever Atomic Bomb test. In New Mexico, it is now safe to visit, and the video artist has interviewed a number of the visitors for their take on this slice of history.

Hugh MacLeod

Nice space.

David Gou

A relatively small gallery that supports the student community by displaying some selected art, as well as seasonal displays.

Lee-Ann Dawe

Very interesting place and the staff was fantastic

Elizabeth A Kennedy

Very nice local gallery with free admission, donations accepted.

KWAG is the backbone of art and cultural life in the Region of Waterloo. It offers numerous programs to engage public with art and cultural development, including inviting influencing and inspiring people to give lectures and presentations about their works and topics that matter to the community. It's a public asset that should be supported by all the residents of the region.

Vladimir Tchourakov

Great place to look around quickly. Price of admission is free!

Lee Thompson

Amazing gem in downtown Kitchener! Mandate of showing contemporary art. Some of the best shows I've ever seen!

Mariah McCoy

Amazing staff and pollinator garden!

Eunwoo Kim

Had some interesting art work. Worth a view.

Kasey Gambeta

Quite small, but a cute gallery. Brought out toddler, who was not a fan of the war hotel exhibit, but I definitely will go back to explore more. Friendly staff and completely free, which is amazing.

Brian Lauder

We drove up on a sunny Saturday and couldn't tell if the gallery was open or not. After checking the website we discovered that it was indeed open. I’m not sure if the gallery is planning to have a lighted “open” sign but it would make the austere, unwelcoming front door more inviting. Also, how about some seating in the gallery rooms so that visitors can rest and look at the art. There are always interesting shows at this gallery and the actual reception area is well-lit and welcoming but the exterior is drab. There isn’t even a clear indication of where the front door is.

Priya Kaushal

Good art gallery alots of things are there.

Krista Cr

Great small gallery with interesting exhibits

Wil Candlish

A small gallery with a real focus on promoting local and Canadian artists. There are some lovely paintings here and the travelling displays are often top notch. Admission is very reasonable. The gallery does a great deal of outreach in the community and really tries to offer a wide variety of educational opportunities, classes, camps and workshops. Overall, well worth a visit as part of a day.

Anna Marsh

Free!! It's small. Nice, varied collection. A good trip to add to a downtown Kitchener visit.

Stavros Stavrou

Good place for some heritage and up to date with art work.
