The Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art (also called Plug In, Plug In ICA, Plug In Gallery) is an art gallery featuring Canadian contemporary art. It is currently located in the Buhler building at 460 Portage Ave. at the edge of downtown Winnipeg.
Plug In moved to its former location in the Exchange District (175 McDermot Avenue)[1] in the 2000s.
History
The Plug-In Gallery began in 1972,[2] as an alternative art venue.[3]
In 1974 an agreement between Plug-In and the Winnipeg Art Gallery had the WAG display some Plug-In artworks. In the trial agreement, the WAG paid Plug-In $1,350 per month to borrow selected works.[4]
In early 1975, the gallery moved from its home at 90 Albert St. to a new location at 2-374 Donald St.
Funding
In 1990 a controversial exhibit on the theme of AIDS questioned the City of Winnipeg's operating grant to the Plug-In Gallery.[5]
