Nova Scotia Centre for Craft & Design, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Membership
All APAGA members pay membership fees which help to pay for the association’s annual meeting and communication costs. Annual General Meetings are generally two days long, with a half-day business meeting followed by panel discussions, roundtables, lectures, and workshops, and the location rotates annually among each of the four Atlantic provinces. Representatives from the Canada Council, Canadian Heritage, the Canadian Museums Association, and other national organizations often come to these meetings to make presentations and meet with members. In addition workshops in related areas give members a professional development experience during the AGM.
Membership is open to all art museums and non-commercial art galleries located in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Newfoundland and Labrador. To be considered for membership institutions should contact the President.
