Wednesday nights at the WAG are about to look (and sound) very different.

Game nights, live music, and drinks are some of the atypical events Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG)-Qaumajuq will be putting on each week as part of its new program, WAG Wednesday Nights. The WAG said to expect a rotating mix of events every Wednesday night, including artist talks, guided tours, and cash bars.

Admission will be free during the events between 5 and 9 p.m. for the next three years.

Begonia and DJ Ali Wan Kenobi are part of the kickoff event Jan. 7, 2026.

WAG Wednesday Nights is sponsored by Power Corporation of Canada.
