Open year-round, the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador is housed in the provincially run Arts and Culture Centre on Allandale Road. It has four exhibition spaces, three of which are used for temporary exhibitions and one for presenting works of art from the gallery's collections.

About 20 exhibitions are presented each year, some exhibitions produced by the gallery and others borrowed from elsewhere. The AGNL's primary focus is contemporary Canadian art, with a specific focus on Newfoundland and Labrador. This impressive gallery manages three collections of original fine art:

• Memorial University of Newfoundland
• The J. K. Pratt Memorial Collection
• The Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador Permanent Collection

Known together as the "Permanent Collections," they comprise over 4,000 works of art. The collections are primarily of post-1960 Canadian art, but also include historical works.
