We\u2019re right beside Well Vitality (Health Clinic) and Whitby\u2019s Diner. So, we\u2019re still right downtown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitford says the Acadia Block storefront will be SAAG\u2019s main hub for the duration, but they\u2019ve also decided to branch out in the community with exhibit space in other parts of the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part of the current Asterisms: Waterways exhibition on now at SAAG&#8217;s Acadia location on 3rd Avenue South.
