Welcome Peter Pugger to the AGB Team! Last month, we hosted a clay-ribbon cutting ceremony along with our inaugural pug in our Ceramics Studio! Special guest Liz Stirling of the incite Foundation for the Arts had the honours of learning from our AGB studio technicians, Heather and Michelle, about the importance of pugging to our studio practices and got to pug clay herself! Since the beginning of 2025, we have recycled one metric tonne of clay, which is essential to running our kids programs and upholding sustainability in our Gallery. This new piece of equipment will not only make us more efficient, but will also be less physically demanding for those pugging. Thank you to incite Foundation for the Arts for making the purchase of this pug mill possible. We are grateful for their support in helping keep our studios efficient and sustainable.

Russna Kaur’s paintings engulf and disorient. They extend beyond the canvas—cascading across walls, slicing through corners, and redefining space with sculptural urgency. In "Been there twice, haven’t got there yet (the space behind a thin screen, and prying eyes)", Kaur builds an immersive environment that invites visitors to move around and through her work, rethinking painting as both surface and structure. Russna Kaur's solo exhibition opens in the AGB's Lee-Chin Family Gallery  on September 20, 2025 and runs until January 4, 2026.
