The Owens Art Gallery is located on the campus of Mount Allison University. It is Canada’s oldest university art gallery and the custodian of an important collection of about 4,000 works spanning the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. The Owens occupies its original building, which opened to the public in 1895, and was designed in the beaux-arts style by Edmund Burke, one of Canada’s most influential architects.
Admission to the Gallery and all its programs is free.
The Owens Reception Desk is staffed entirely by Mount Allison University students. Our student receptionists are knowledgeable about the Gallery and its programs, and they are always happy to offer information on exhibitions and other Owens events.
The Owens Art Gallery (Mount Allison University) is a member of CARFAC Maritimes and the Maple League Galleries, a group of four university galleries that include Acadia University Art Gallery (Acadia University), Foreman Art Gallery (Bishop’s University), and St. Francis Xavier University Art Gallery (St. Francis Xavier University).
