Please check back for updates on our current gallery display.
The AANM Gallery exclusively shows work by d/Deaf artists and artists with disabilities.
The AANM Gallery is open to the public when there is a gallery show. On the first Friday of each month, the gallery will be open from 6:00pm to 8:00pm for show openings*. The gallery will also be open for public viewing from Monday to Friday 10:00am to 3:00pm for the duration of a show. Entrance is free.
Before planning your visit, please call 204-226-2366 to ensure the gallery is open. We close intermittently when working off-site. Most of our shows can also be viewed online here: https://aanm.ca/online-exhibitions/
*Check our website, social media, and event posters for more information on shows and show openings.
We try to make our shows as accessible as possible. Service animals are welcome, pets are not. We ask that visitors refrain from using scented products for the safety of those with sensitivities. Our building is wheelchair accessible, we have accessible washrooms, and on request we offer ASL interpretive tours, remote tours, loud or quiet viewing, and description/descriptive text of each artwork. To arrange for these or other accessibility services, contact Jenel Shaw at 204-336-2366 or info@aanm.ca
The ramp access is on the East side of the building. To open the accessible door at the top of the ramp, push the button until the door opens. To have someone meet you at the ramp entrance you can call 204-336-2366 during business hours (M-F 10am-3pm).
The gallery is located downtown at 102-329 Cumberland Avenue, and is accessible by many bus routes https://app.winnipegtransit.com/navigo and bike paths (cycling maps are available at many libraries and bike shops).
City of Winnipeg street parking is metered and costs $1.75/hr.
C2 Centre for Craft Gallery is just across the hallway from us: http://c2centreforcraft.ca
Openings (the debut of a new show) are once a month from 6pm to 9pm, usually at the beginning of the month. Entrance is free. Our open-concept office is in a corner of the gallery. A staff person will be in the space. You can chat with us, ask questions, just silently look at the artwork, or request accessibility services (please request services like ASL translation 2 weeks ahead of time). During openings, we provide snacks that don’t require plates, and some non-alcoholic bottled drinks. Both are free and you help yourself. Fidget toys, AANM temporary tattoos, keychains, pins, and pens are also available for free. We also have books for sale (cash only). There aren’t any obligations to buy anything.
Depending on the show, original artwork or prints may be available for sale, with 100% of proceeds going to the artist. Prices will be marked next to the artwork on an information card. If you purchase a piece during a show, you will receive it when the show closes at the end of its run. Pieces that have already been bought (and are no longer available for sale) are marked with a small red dot sticker on the information card. More of our artist members’ work can be found here https://aanm.ca/online-exhibitions/ and here https://aanm.ca/support-artists-with-disabilities/online-gallery/. If you are interested in buying or commissioning a piece from one of our artists, contact Jenel Shaw at info@aanm.ca.
AANM shows work exclusively by d/Deaf artists and artists with disabilities.

AANM is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. To that end, we ask for culturally diverse, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQIA+, rural and northern self-identification, if you choose. Applications are confidential and reviewed by staff and jury members only.
Artists must be AANM members to show with us. Free and sliding-scale memberships are available to those facing financial barriers. View membership options and renew memberships here: https://aanm.ca/join-aanm-today/
