Best Gallery

Just knocking the hell out of the competition once again, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia hangs on to their best gallery title. With a ninth consecutive win under their belt, the gallery is a mainstay in this category. Putting their focus on showing and spreading the word on Atlantic Canadian art, they have “become one of the leading galleries in the country in receiving gifts of art, which was valued at over $2.8 million last year alone,” says director and chief curator Jeffrey Spalding. 1723 Hollis, 424-7542
