History
In 1974, local residents formed the Southern Alberta Art Gallery Association to lobby Lethbridge City Council to establish a gallery in the building vacated by the Lethbridge Public Library. The city approved the proposal and provided renovation and operating grants to establish the gallery. The first exhibitions opened in 1976.
Allan McKay served as the first director/curator from 1975–1977. He was replaced by Alf Bogusky, who served until 1985. Joan Stebbins has been the director/curator of SAAG since 1985 when Bogusky became the Director of the Art Gallery of Windsor in Ontario. [cite web
