A good work in progress 4 out of 5 stars

I agree with the previous reviewer to some extent: the main installations have rarely changed over the years (i.e. Maud Lewis). However, the Gallery has had many interesting and unique temporary exhibits - ranging from authentic Dr. Seuss drawings to local folk art and photography, to Egyptian artifacts. I think it's an issue of timing (on the visitor's part) and PR (on the Gallery's part) - check ahead to see what's on display.

The Gallery does offer free admission occasionally, and it also has a lovely shop and cafe (Cheapside). It doesn't compare to some of the larger metropolitan galleries I've been to, but for what and where it is, I think it's extremely well organized and arranged. And, the Art Sales & Rental office is great for people who want to "test out" some artwork before buying it outright. I hope they continue to offer programs and classes to art enthusiasts of all ages too.

Over-priced 2 out of 5 stars

Coming from larger cities where Art Galleries and Museums are free to the public really spoils you. I think AGNS is over-priced and the displays rarely change.
