4CULTURE The Art Gallery of Algoma is proud to announce a partnership with the Sault Ste. Marie Museum, The Ermatinger/Clergue Heritage Site, and the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre. This new association has been called 4Culture. Although each organization is totally independent, we have come together to undertake joint marketing efforts, fundraising and educational coordination. Our close proximity to each geographically creates a strong cultural neighbourhood, and with that in mind we have produced Œpassports‚ that can be used by tourists and locals alike. These have been well received by tourist associations in the community, and have strengthened our links to these groups as well. One of the greatest advantages of 4Culture has been the close liaison between professional staff from each member organization and, the pooling of resources and expertise.
