SHADOWLANDS: an Exhibition by Cindy Bouwers
January 9 – May 30, 2025
Ambrose University, Calgary
Ambrose University is pleased to present Shadowlands, an exhibition by painter Cindy Bouwers, on view from January 9 to May 30, 2025, at Ambrose University, 150 Ambrose Circle SW, Calgary. An Opening Reception will be held on January 17 from 4:00–7:00 pm, and the public is warmly invited to attend.
It has come to our attention that, following the 2024 fires, many Jasper residents are still not in their permanent homes. Some are not even living in Jasper and are feeling increasingly isolated. Why does this matter to us? Because we are an art space dedicated to experience, engagement, and creative exploration—and few things help sustain a sense of community like the arts.
Looking for a local Calgary area based artist for a one month show May of 2026. Art work to be on consignment with a 30% commission taken by the gallery for any sales.

Joan had been involved with SAAG beginning in 1979 shortly after the Gallery opened to the public. She worked her way through the organization and became Director / Curator in 1985 and served in that position until her retirement in 2007. Her leadership has been credited with the gallery being viewed as one of the country’s leading contemporary arts institutions.
Throughout Joan’s career, she has received a number of honours, which include The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Artists award, a Member of the Order of Canada, an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Lethbridge, and an RCA Medal from the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

Photographer Nigel Midwinter, in the exhibition Cryoscapes, explores the tension between fragility and force within Alberta’s winter landscapes. Shot on the frozen surface of Abraham Lake, these black-and-white photographs transform cracked ice, pressure ridges, and trapped methane bubbles into abstract forms.
In Process is an ever changing group exhibit featuring six Calgary abstract artists exploring ideas of change, transition, and the creative process. Working in various mediums and styles, these artists use abstraction to express emotion, memory, and transformation through mark-making, texture, and experimentation. The show runs from January 6 -31 with the artists Claudia Lorenz, Susan Hull, Dixie Baum, Ghislaine Cleiren, Anne-Marie Gunst, and Barbara Straka. Artist reception Friday January 9 from 6:30 pm to 9:00pm.
