Chairman’s Message
Much has transpired over the last year at the Gallery, most notably a change in directorship. In November 2007
Pierre Arpin moved to Ottawa, assuming the position of Head of Visual Arts for the Canada Council for the
Arts. On June 15, 2008 the Board was very pleased to welcome Dr. Stephen Borys as the new Director of The
Winnipeg Art Gallery. Stephen brings a strong curatorial background to the WAG, along with many international
connections from his work abroad. I sincerely thank Deputy Director Claire Whelan for her dedication and hard
work running the Gallery during the interim.
This past year the Gallery successfully completed Phase 1 of the Arts Stabilization Manitoba Program, a process
which has led to many improvements touching on everything from governance structure to best business
practices. One of the qualifications for the program requires that the participant’s year-end must show a surplus,
and the Gallery has been fortunate to declare surpluses over the last three years. The Board, management, and
staff put a lot of time into seeing this process through. Thank you for your hard work and due diligence.
Our exhibitions over the last year brought a lot of attention to The Winnipeg Art Gallery. Warhol: Larger than
Life ran for 13 weeks and welcomed over 24,000 visitors, provided programs to 2,800 school-age children, offered
self-guided iPod tours to over 1,000 visitors, hosted 5,800 people in adult programs, and ran 3 sold-out studio
workshops. Frank Warren’s PostSecret exhibition also brought thousands of people to the Gallery. Frank Warren
himself spoke at two sold-out talks/book signings and was guest of honour at a Leadership Circle reception.
While both of these exhibitions resulted in significant media coverage for the Gallery, they also brought countless
first-time visitors, including many from other parts of Canada and the United States.
This has been a busy year with the Board, management, and staff working hard and closely together to achieve
a common goal, that of providing excellence in the visual arts to both our members and the public at large. I
would like to thank all those in the community who continue to support us both fiscally and in a volunteer capacity, and those who attend our events and programs and visit our
exhibitions. Our donors, private and public, play a very important role in supporting the Gallery and we thank them all. I would also like to thank the WAG staff and Board who,
over the last three years, have made my role as Chairman both a pleasure and an experience I will always remember. The years have gone by in a flash as one amazing exhibition or
event blended into the next. I, along with the Board and staff, look forward to working with our new Chair Naomi Levine as together we plan towards The Winnipeg Art Gallery’s
100th anniversary in 2012.
Gordon R. Gage
Chairman, Board of Governors
Director’s message
Deputy Director’s Message
It’s great to be back in Winnipeg, and I cannot think of a better place to come home
to than the oldest civic art gallery in the country, The Winnipeg Art Gallery! Over
the years, I have lived, studied, and worked in Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa,
Cleveland, and Sarasota—all great cities with thriving arts communities. Returning to
Winnipeg after more than twenty years, I am quickly reminded of how much this city
has to offer, to celebrate, and to be proud of when it comes to the arts. And certainly the
WAG is at the centre of this experience, as well as being a leader for this activity.
With our great successes and some challenges, 2007/2008 was another exciting year at
The Winnipeg Art Gallery.
I have been given a five-year mandate to do great things at the WAG and great things
for our community. Serving at the pleasure of our Board, I hope to make the most of
every moment, every opportunity, and every resource. Our community is comprised
of not just the citizens of Winnipeg, but people across the province and country, and
the worldwide cultural community. And our goals and successes involve and, in many
ways, depend on this diverse constituency. Above the doorway of the Allen Memorial
Art Museum at Oberlin College, where I served as curator and professor, the following
words are engraved in stone: The Cause of Art is the Cause of the People. I hope each visitor
to the WAG—old and new, at home and away—will take up the cause of this great
institution as we approach our second century.
Stephen D. Borys, Ph.D.
Director
Through our exhibitions, Winnipeg embraced Andy Warhol with 24,000 visitors
popping in to Warhol: Larger than Life, shared secrets with the world in Frank Warren’s
PostSecret, glowed with civic pride in Subconscious City, and mapped our streets in
Erratic Space: Don Gill. Jazz on the Rooftop expanded with a winter series, Jazz
under the Rooftop, and the WAG’s first Art After Dark sold out. We introduced the iPod
audio tour, complementing our guided tours, lectures, and Art for Lunch programs.
Norm Bradshaw joined the Gallery from the Shaw Festival as Head of Development,
bringing with him a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective. Pierre Arpin, our
previous Director, accepted the post of Head of Visual Arts for the Canada Council for
the Arts and moved to Ottawa in November. We miss Pierre and wish him well.
Board, management, and staff are showing their commitment to the strategic plan and
aligning the organization with the mission, vision, and values that were redefined last
year. Following through on recommendations of Arts Stabilization Manitoba, Inc. to
strengthen the management team to guide the Gallery through the strategic planning
process, Helen Delacretaz was promoted to Head, Exhibitions and Programs and
Crystal Hiebert to Manager, Marketing and Communications.
In 2008 the Volunteer Committee to The Winnipeg Art Gallery celebrates their 60th
anniversary, and continues their unfailing commitment to the Gallery, gifting the Gallery
Shoppes and Art Rental and Sales to the Gallery in September, 2007, helping our staff
wherever needed, and fund-raising in many, many ways.
Our achievements would not be possible without the generous support we receive from
so many. Thank you to our donors and sponsors, The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation,
and our funders from all three levels of government. To our loyal members, thank you for
your continued support and feedback. To the WAG Board of Governors, the Volunteer
Committee, The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation Board, and all those individuals
volunteering in our programs and events who so graciously and generously donate their
time and expertise to making The Winnipeg Art Gallery a destination where people are
excited by art—thank you. We couldn’t do it without you!
As I write this, we look forward to the arrival of Stephen Borys, returning home to
Winnipeg to lead the Gallery to its centenary. I would like to thank all staff for their hard
work and dedication to the Gallery while we were without a Director and also to thank
our Board Chairman, Gord Gage, for his continued assistance and advice.

Collections and exhibitions
The Curatorial team delivered an ambitious exhibition schedule for 2007/2008, coordinating the research,
design, publication, and installation for over 20 exhibitions. The WAG-curated blockbuster Warhol:
Larger than Life, drawn from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, took Winnipeg by storm over
the winter months, welcoming in excess of 24,000 visitors. The momentum continued through the spring
with the WAG serving as the opening venue for the international sensation PostSecret—a show whose
candid nature and revealing subjects were impossible to resist.
Local contemporary artists were celebrated in the expansive group exhibition Subconscious City, the Royal
Art Lodge’s where is here?, and a number of smaller, focused solo displays. National and international art
were also showcased, as was the Gallery’s celebrated Inuit collection.
Works of varied disciplines, mediums, and cultural origins entered the collection over the course of the
year. As always, particular attention was paid to work by Manitoba-based or Manitoba-affiliated artists.
Additionally, several selections served to document recent or future exhibitions through acquiring work
featured or to be featured on gallery walls.
The Gallery’s Curatorial and Education departments merged in November 2007 to form the new
Exhibitions and Programs department. By uniting these two critical departments, one tasked with the exhibition schedule
and collection growth/research and the other responsible for the complementary educational components of the same,
the Gallery will develop greater coordinated efforts in overall programming. Drawing upon the successes of this past year,
and enthusiastic visitor responses, the newly minted Exhibitions and Programs staff look forward to continuing to work
collaboratively on a strong 2008/09 season.
Several artists of Subconscious City attended the
exhibition opening on February 14, 2007 — Standing,

The Royal Art Lodge, the drawing collective,
may change its membership, but there is one
constant: it produces works of captivating
wonder. – Globe & Mail, July 19, 2007
Although artist Marcel Dzama wasn’t able to attend the
opening of Royal Art Lodge: where is here? on July
5, 2007, his proud parents Maurice and Jeannette were
there, celebrating with the other members of the collective,
Michael Dumontier (centre) and Neil Farber.
EDUCATION AND
PROGRAMS
Exhibition tours. Artist talks. School tours. Art classes. Family Sunday. The staff of the
Education department work closely with the curators to develop programs that enhance
our visitors’ enjoyment of the exhibitions.
Adult Programs
Last year over 28,000 Gallery visitors increased their understanding and enjoyment of
art through several carefully constructed programs. Art for Lunch, the WAG’s most
popular educational program geared to an adult audience, continued to grow and expand
its loyal followers. At many a session, in excess of 60 people joined our Adult Educator
and other Gallery staff for the informative lunch hour program. Adult Education also
further developed its offerings to the ESL (English as a Second Language) community,
proving unequivocally that art is a wonderful universal medium with a shared visual
language.
Warhol: Larger than Life offered many new challenges and opportunities. Our volunteer
tour guides were kept busy leading more than 7,000 visitors through the exhibition
during the course of its three-month run. Talks by Thomas Sokolowski, Director of
the Andy Warhol Museum, and art critics Arthur Danto and Robert Enright were well
received. Both these talks were recorded on our new MP3 voice recorder which allows
us to archive lectures and provide on-line access, greatly improving our service and the
accessibility of our programming.
The Warhol exhibition also marked the launch of the Gallery’s iPod audio tour program.
It proved so popular, with over 1,000 visitors taking advantage of it, that iPod tours are
now being made available for many of our exhibitions. Content does not duplicate the
information on the wall labels but adds yet another layer of interpretation of the art on view.
Frank Warren’s candid presentations relating to his Internet phenomenon PostSecret
drew some 700 people to the WAG’s Muriel Richardson Auditorium for 2 exciting
sold-out lectures.
(Top) Frank Warren, founder of the PostSecret project, spoke at two sold-out talks/book
signings.
(Bottom) Volunteer guides offer visitors tours of current exhibitions.
Public Programs
Jazz on the Rooftop celebrated its 29th year as one of the staples of the summer music
scene in Winnipeg by increasing its lineup from 4 to 6 concerts that attracted more than
1,500 music lovers. For the first time each ticket also included free Gallery admission the
day of the concert and guided exhibition tours during intermission—an offer that was
very well-received. The success of the summer series led to the launch of Jazz under the
Rooftop in the winter with four concerts held in the Muriel Richardson Auditorium.
The Cannes Lions, aka the World’s Best Commercials, continued to be an audience
favorite with attendance of 8,000.
The Muriel Richardson Auditorium is a regular venue for many city music groups
including the Winnipeg Chamber Music Society, Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra, Musica
Speciale, the Women’s Musical Club, and the Winnipeg Music Festival. The auditorium
also hosts numerous corporate events, high school band concerts, and awards ceremonies.
Last year over 17,000 people attended events in the auditorium.
Studio Programs
The WAG’s Studio Programs, one of the largest of its kind in Canada, is an excellent
example of creativity in action. In this past year, 1,944 children, teens, and adults took
part in 169 scheduled classes, workshops, and drop-in classes. Taught by 30 professional
artists, classes included sculpture and mixed media, watercolours and oils, collage and
mosaic, rug hooking and silkscreen, animation and photography.
Community partnerships are an integral part of Studio Programs. Collaboration with
Winnipeg and Louis Riel School Divisions allows inner-city students the opportunity
to take classes at the Gallery. The annual Quantum Program, with Prairie Theatre
Exchange and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, sees talented young artists participate
in theatre, dance, and visual art with a finale performance in the Gallery’s Muriel
Richardson Auditorium each spring. The generosity of Boeing Canada Technology,
Winnipeg Division makes possible the Sign for Art classes with students from the
Manitoba School for the Deaf. Scholarships funded by the Volunteer Committee to
The Winnipeg Art Gallery allowed 19 gifted students to continue their art studies.
The culmination of all this is Through the Eyes of a Child, a very popular exhibition
featuring work from all children and teens taking fall and winter classes. On a smaller scale, an
exhibition featuring the work of the adult students is held in the Studio Building each July.
For the second year Studio Programs
successfully partnered with the
Winnipeg Folk Festival for the
Young Artists Program which
involves teens working on visual art
projects at the WAG, then installing
them at the Folk Festival.
Youth Programs
Youth Programs looks to facilitate
lifelong learning by providing greater
access to the WAG’s exhibitions
through programs that enhance the
learning experience. While this is an
ongoing process and many effective
and popular programs are currently
available, the goal is to ensure that
program enhancements and growth
are possible and financially selfsustainable.
Painting, drawing, sculpture, animation,
photography—last year almost 2,000 children,
In October we said farewell to Rae
teens, and adults discovered the joy and challenge
Harris after more than 12 years
of creating art in the WAG’s Studio Programs,
as Head of School Programs. Rae
one of the largest of its kind in Canada.
contributed great enthusiasm to the
Education Program and introduced
a range of high quality School Programs. Rae is credited with providing opportunities for
volunteers to participate in an enrichment program focusing on the history, appreciation,
and enjoyment of art.
Over 10,000 students participated in School Programs during the 2007-08 school year,
making this our most successful year. With the help of dedicated staff and volunteers, they
took programs in both English and French that used drawing, role-playing, movement,
rhythm, discussion, and storytelling to help students understand art in terms of their
own experiences and methods of learning. Our 25 programs are curriculum-based,
developed and implemented as an integral component of Manitoba Arts Education at
pre-school, elementary, and secondary levels.
The Family Sunday program continues to grow and represents an increasingly diverse
audience. The generous sponsorship of the Graham C. Lount Family Foundation and
The McCain Foundation allows for free admission, making this bilingual family-friendly
program available to many members of the public who may have never been to the Gallery.
Musicians, storytellers, visual artists, mimes, and volunteers bring the art alive and engage
visitors of all ages. Themes were based on the exhibitions Take Comfort: The Career of
Charles Comfort, Inuit Games, 18 Illuminations: Contemporary Art and Light, and
Through the Eyes of a Child. Between 400 and 850 visitors attend each Family Sunday,
and many return with more of their friends and family the next time.
Clara Lander Library and WAG Archives
The Clara Lander Library plays a key role in research and learning at the Gallery. In
addition to assisting staff and their research needs, the Library welcomes personal visitors
as well as telephone and written inquiries from all researchers. It is one of the finest
resources in Manitoba for information about art, the only centre with a mandate to
promote public access to information about the visual arts created by Canadian and
Manitoba artists. Users include art historians, art students, teachers, artists, and the
general public.The library’s collection continues to grow with generous donations
that help to fill gaps, and acquisitions of the latest titles being published on art topics
nationally and internationally. One such gift that filled a gap was a collection of books
on silver donated by the Marian Adelaide Robertson Estate in the fall of 2007. This
collection represents an excellent resource for the researcher and collector of silver.
A major accomplishment for the year in the Archives collection was the completion
of Phase II (of a two-phase project) for the George Swinton records. This is one of the
largest collections of private records represented in our Archives and is important for
research on Inuit art. Documenting a period during which Inuit art began to be collected
seriously, the Swinton records contain information about an important era in Canadian
art history. Finding aids for the Archives collection are available at ArchivesCanada.ca.
The Archives was also the recipient of a grant for a student project which was completed
at the end of 2007. This project involved the inventory of our colour slides collection and
preservation work on photograph negatives from the Brigden collection in the Archives.
(Top) Family Sundays are a wonderful way for parents, grandparents, and little ones
to spend a fun-filled afternoon together.
(Bottom) Over 10,000 schoolchildren, from kindergarten to grade 12, took part in
School Programs last year, using drawing, role-playing, movement, discussion, and
storytelling to learn more about art in ways to which they could personally relate.
Museum
Services
Museums Services staff were kept extremely busy last year
mounting 27 exhibitions in the galleries, packing and
preparing 3 touring shows, arranging loans of 48 artworks
for shows in other galleries, processing 177 new works
into the WAG collection, and photographing works for 3
important exhibition publications.
Futurism and After: David Burliuk 1882-1967, an exhibition
opening in April 2008, was a challenging exhibition for the
Gallery’s conservators, as many of the works were in extremely
poor condition when they arrived. The conservators spent
long hours doing very painstaking, detailed repair work. The
rewarding result, however, is restored artworks preserved for
the future. The newly stable condition of the art means the
WAG can now send this exhibition on tour across Canada
and the United States.
Warhol: Larger than Life presented difficulties for Museums
Services staff regarding shipping the works from the Warhol
Museum in Pittsburgh to Winnipeg, as well as to the other
galleries on the national tour.
The cancellation by the federal government of the Exhibition
Transportation Service (ETS), used by all Canadian galleries
and museums to transport artwork across the country,
is a major concern for The Winnipeg Art Gallery. This
cancellation impacts how we plan our artwork exchange with other institutions across
the country—organizing shipping in a way that continues to meet all museological and
conservation requirements and ensures safe art handling. The increased cost of shipping
also presents grave concerns. The Gallery is currently looking for solutions to enable it
to continue bringing its visitors exciting art from across the country.
WAG Conservator Radovan Radulovic and Julie Drapeau of the National Gallery of
Canada examine a painting to determine what conservation work might be required.
Works are thoroughly checked before and after they are exhibited and temperature/
humidity levels in the galleries are monitored on a regular basis to ensure optimum
conditions for the artwork on display.
Wonderful art Gallery! I loved so much. – Fernando
Silveire -Florianopolis, Brazil, October 2007
Marketing and
Communications
The 2007-2008 year was exciting and challenging for the Marketing and Communications
department. In addition to promoting all exhibitions, programs, and events at the Gallery,
several months were dedicated to developing and executing an extensive marketing
plan for Warhol: Larger than Life. The exhibition came to life through advertising on
Winnipeg Transit buses, lamppost street banners along Memorial Boulevard, window
displays at The Bay Downtown, and a large exterior banner welcoming visitors as they
arrived at the Gallery. Thousands of Warhol pins appeared on backpacks and jackets
throughout the city and beyond. These promotional tactics, combined with print and
radio advertising, and unprecedented media coverage, made this exhibition a must-see
for thousands of visitors locally, nationally, and internationally.
On the heels of Warhol: Larger than Life, PostSecret also attracted significant media
attention increasing with the visit by Frank Warren to the Gallery in January, 2008 for
two sold-out lectures.
The Marketing and Communications department initiated significant changes to key
marketing tools to our members and the public. Tableau, the Gallery newsletter, was
redesigned in the fall of 2008, transforming from the 11” x 17” format to a more
compact 8” x 9” size and adding a convenient, pull-out event guide.
The advertising strategy was also evaluated, resulting in the re-branding of the Gallery
by incorporating a new design focusing on the WAG’s vision statement as a destination
“where people are excited by art.” A clearly defined, regularly scheduled advertising plan
was put in place with a distinct, instantly recognizable WAG look. The Bay’s generous
offer of four large display windows on a permanent basis provided the opportunity to
promote the Gallery to traffic along Memorial Boulevard, mirrored with a large exterior
banner across the street at the WAG.
We would like to thank our media sponsors for 2007-2008 – Hot 103 FM (PostSecret),
92 CITI FM (Warhol: Larger than Life), COOL FM (Jazz on the Rooftop) and
particularly the Winnipeg Free Press for their ongoing support of The Winnipeg Art
Gallery. We couldn’t do it without you!
Andy Warhol’s image was everywhere in Winnipeg—transit bus signs, street banners, and the
front of the Gallery. A comprehensive marketing campaign brought in over 24,000 visitors to
the Gallery’s “blockbuster” exhibition for 2007.
The Gallery’s exhibitions and events attract excellent media coverage, such as CBC’s Chris Read
and freelance art critic Robert Enright (back), here at the Royal Art Lodge – where is here?
opening on July 5, 2007.
Gallery Shoppes /
Art Rental and Sales
Merchandise celebrating Warhol: Larger than Life, Frank Warren’s
PostSecret publications, and artwork by some of the artists featured
in Gallery exhibitions, kept staff in the Gallery Shoppes busy last year.
In this past fiscal year, the Gallery Shoppes/Art Rental
and Sales were gifted to The Winnipeg Art Gallery by the
Volunteer Committee to The Winnipeg Art Gallery as part of
a restructuring process. Sincere thanks goes to all members of
the Volunteer Committee, past and present, for their 60 years
of dedicated service in the operation and management of the
Gift Shop, Inside Gallery, and Art Rental and Sales.
The 2007-08 exhibition schedule offered the Shoppes great
opportunities to showcase products and artists. In April, in
conjunction with Duane Perkins 60/40, the Inside Gallery
held a mini exhibition/sale of his work. Coinciding with the
annual meeting of the Royal Canadian Academy held in
Winnipeg in June, the Inside Gallery presented an exhibition
of gold and silver foil-lined, one-of-a-kind glass vases by
acclaimed Vancouver artist Robert Held, a member of the
RCA. Robert was on hand to greet customers the day the
exhibition opened.
The Shoppes showcased many exciting publications
including In the Shadow of the Midnight Sun, Cities: John
Hartman, PostSecret and Edward Burtynsky: In Pursuit of
Progress. PostSecret was by far the most surprising, bringing
in a younger, more contemporary clientele interested in the
postcard secrets contained in Frank Warren’s books. The
WAG’s Subconscious City exhibition continued to draw from
the same crowd. In conjunction with the Royal Art Lodge: where is here? exhibition,
the Shoppes had fun featuring some of Marcel Dzama’s creations in the form of canisters
and figures, especially his limited edition, Monsters of Winnipeg Folklore. Warhol: Larger
than Life was the most energetic exhibition of the year. From October to January, the
Gallery Shoppes shelves and walls were bursting with Warhol prints, watches, books,
magnets, and more. Overlapping with Christmas, it created an exciting and bustling
holiday season.
In the past year Art Rental and Sales represented more than 220 artists, 180 from
Manitoba. There are currently more than 575 works of art in the Art Rental program
moving in and out of private homes and corporate offices, and appearing in “made in
Manitoba” films. This year the artists received more than $87,000 from the sale and
rental of their work through this department. Through the Art Rental and Sales and the
Shoppes, the WAG continues to provide access to Canadian and in particular, Manitoba,
artists and their work.
Development
This was a year of transition and growth for the Development Department
interspersed with exciting changes and wonderful contributions.
We welcomed new members to our staff and also added a new position,
Special Events Coordinator. We are now operating at full complement and
have made some internal adjustments, improving our customer service and
communications for all of our donors and members. We are thrilled to have
the opportunity to provide the best possible experience to our strongest
supporters.
Through the year we have been focusing on changing and improving our
benefits for our members and donors and will continue to do so over the
coming year. Please keep an eye on Tableau and other Gallery communications
for exclusive events, enhanced benefits, and exciting opportunities for
our dedicated patrons to enjoy, engage, and immerse themselves in all
The Winnipeg Art Gallery has to offer.
There are a number of very important gifts to acknowledge for 2007-2008.
We had wonderful corporate support from a number of partners and those of
special note are Johnston Group for their support of our annual operations,
Goodman Private Wealth Management for their support of Arty Gras,
BMO Financial Group for their support of our jazz series, Great-West Life for their support
of Through the Eyes of a Child, Investors Group for their very generous support of our
Studio Programs, and the Winnipeg Free Press for their ongoing support as the Gallery’s
media sponsor. One individual who must be recognized for his extraordinary generosity and
leadership is Michael Nesbitt, a committed volunteer for the Gallery, who made a significant
gift to sponsor Warhol: Larger than Life.
Our heartfelt thanks to all of these very special supporters and to all of our donors and members.
We truly cannot be what we are, or aspire to what we want to be, without you!

In his exhibition Erratic Space, artist Don Gill spent a month “mapping” Winnipeg’s visual identity. As well as
walking throughout the city, he turned the WAG’s mezzanine gallery into a laboratory to analyze, organize,
and archive his findings. In conjunction with the exhibition, Studio Program artists worked with teens at IRCOM
Refugee Housing, mirroring Don’s Neighbourhood Mapping project within their own downtown neighbourhood.
VOLUNTEER COMMITTEe
This has been a special year for the Volunteer Committee to The Winnipeg Art Gallery
as 2008 marked 60 years of an energetic and dedicated partnership with the WAG in a
variety of activities. Five-star travel tours to Las Vegas, Northern India, Egypt, China,
and “the Roman Empire.” The annual stamp sale. A successful bridge tournament. A
tour of Winnipeg’s distinctive heritage homes. All these events helped to build awareness
of the WAG and raise funds which were dispersed in various ways.
We were delighted to continue our sponsorship of Through the Eyes of a Child and
this year also supported the Gallery’s blockbuster exhibition, Warhol: Larger than
Life. Supporting art education programs for youth is one of our mandates and last
year we provided Studio Programs scholarships for 19 talented young artists. We also
contributed funds to The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation and purchased books for
the Clara Lander Library.
It was timely in September, 2007, that the Gallery Shoppes and Art Rental and Sales
were gifted to the Gallery as part of a restructuring process. During our decades of
running Art Rental and Sales, hundreds of Manitoba artists have been introduced to
the public and a portion of the funds raised paid to the artists. The Shoppes, too, have
been a major fundraiser for us, and our members have enjoyed working as buyers and
salespeople, sharing their love of art and beautiful things. With the ongoing volunteer
commitment, both entities are in good hands and will continue our legacy.
The 133 members of the Volunteer Committee enhance their own art awareness with
private exhibition tours and visits to other galleries in the city. Two art study groups meet
regularly to research and make presentations on classic, modern, and contemporary art
and architecture.
Some distinct landmarks mark the 60th year. Over the past six decades The WAG
Foundation received nearly $875,000. Seven-hundred and nineteen art works were
donated and over 1,100 supported through VC funds. An estimated 900 Studio
Programs scholarships were awarded and countless books were donated to the Clara
Lander Library. Twenty-three years of travel tours to 18 countries raised $100,000. And
30 presidents lent their leadership.
As I finish my fifth and final year as President, I extend special thanks to our Assistant
Kathy Kushpel, Deputy Director Claire Whelan, and the exceptional WAG staff as
The Volunteer Committee have a long history with Studio Programs, having awarded
900 art scholarships to young students over the years. They are also a long-time
sponsor of Through the Eyes of a Child, our annual exhibition of work done by
children and teens taking fall and winter classes.
we work together with the same goals for excellence. We welcome our new Director
Stephen Borys, and I thank Chairman Gord Gage and the WAG Board for their ongoing
leadership. And grateful thanks to all the Volunteer Committee members for their
estimated 10,000 hours of dedication over the year. Truly, the volunteers provide an
enormous measure of value to the Gallery.
Lila Goodspeed
President, Volunteer Committee to The Winnipeg Art Gallery
THE WINNIPEG ART
GALLERY FOUNDATION INC.
On behalf of the Trustees of the Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation, I wish to thank
everyone who supported our fine institution over the past year. Established in 1978, the Foundation works to raise funds and secure the future of the
Gallery through the substantial support of the Volunteer Committee as well as donations
made by individuals. The income from these funds is managed and transferred to The
Winnipeg Art Gallery for purposes as varied as the collection of artwork, investment in
technology and infrastructure, and exhibitions. Last year the Foundation transferred over $50,000 to the Gallery, supported the much
anticipated exhibition Edward Burtynsky: In the Pursuit of Progress, and contributed
to the Gallery’s Art Acquisition Fund. In aggregate, over the past 29 years, the
Foundation has provided more than $2 million to the Gallery which has sustained
programs enjoyed by all Manitobans. The Volunteer Committee has raised a significant
amount of the funds transferred to the Foundation with nearly $875,000 to date, and
are to be both recognized and thanked for their ongoing support and dedication.
Many thanks to all the kind individuals and corporations who have given and continue to
give to the Gallery. Your generous contributions are clearly making a difference through
varied programs that benefit all who visit and experience The Winnipeg Art Gallery. In
addition, I extend a thank you to Ken Cooper (Past President, WAG Foundation) for his
years of support, and we are pleased to have his expertise continue on the Board of the
Foundation. The Trustees of the Foundation devote their time and expertise throughout
the year, and I am greatly appreciative of their counsel and commitment.
I am honoured to serve both The Winnipeg Art Gallery and the Foundation Board
of Trustees in support of the Gallery’s vision of being an internationally renowned
destination where people are excited by art.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Winnipeg Art
Gallery as at March 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles.

amortization rate for the related capital assets.
Endowment contributions are recognized as direct increases in endowment net assets.

Effective April 1, 2007, marketable securities are classified as held-for-trading (note 3) and are carried at fair

(f) The Gallery adopted the new standards - Handbook Section 3855 - Financial Instruments - Recognition and
Measurement and Section 3861 - Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Presentation, on April 1, 2007. These
standards provide guidance on recognizing financial instruments and non-financial derivatives on the statement of
financial position. These standards also specify how financial instrument gains and losses are presented. Initially,
all financial assets and liabilities must be recorded on the statement of financial position at fair value. Subsequent
measurement is determined by the classification of each financial asset and liability. Under this standard, all financial
instruments are classified as one of: (a) held-for-trading (b) loans and receivables; (c) held-to-maturity (d) availablefor-sale or

2008 Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value
with gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations. Financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity,
loans and receivables, and other liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Available-for-sale financial instruments are
measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized directly in net assets. For held-for-trading financial
assets, transaction costs are recorded in the statement of operations as incurred.

(Above left) Last year the WAG introduced
Art After Dark, a new program that offers
drinks, appetizers, live music, and exhibition
tours. The first one was developed around
Warhol: Larger than Life where the photo
booth was a big attraction.
(Bottom left & right, top right) Everyone loves
a great party! Art & Soul gave party-goers
the chance to dress up as their favourite
celebrity. Events such as Art & Soul and
Arty Gras provide a fun, unforgettable
evening while raising funds to support
the Gallery’s exhibitions and programs.
