22 • Winnipeg's Unique Off-site Venues
The Winnipeg Art Gallery boasts collections ranging from 15th century panel
paintings to 1950s modernism, to the largest collection of contemporary
Inuit art in the world. And with its modern architecture, it's no wonder that it
becomes the city's hottest night spot during Nuit Blanche.
The immense Eckhardt Hall's gorgeous Manitoba Tyndall Stone can be utilized
on its own for a reception or sit-down dinner, or brilliantly combined with the
Skylight Gallery, a perfect location for a cocktail reception, as guests peruse
the various works of art on display as the sun or moonlight shines in softly
from above.
The celebrated Rooftop Patio has one of the best views in the entire city
where delegates can walk around the charming sculpture garden as they take
in the evening's entertainment, meandering from indoor to outdoor space.
For presentations and training sessions, the Muriel Richardson Auditorium is
an ideal spot. This concert hall has over 300 contour seats, an adjoining lobby
for a classy stand-up reception, and state-of-the-art digital sound and lighting
capabilities.
