Visual arts & new media

Hello,

We are excited to announce that we have opened the call for applications for the 2026 session of the Being Black in Canada program – the largest bilingual incubator dedicated to Black filmmakers in Canada!

Viewpoint Gallery offers local artists and curators of  all backgrounds the chance to exhibit original work. Run by City of Red Deer and located at 5205 48 Avenue in downtown Red Deer, it features 875 sq. ft.  of exhibit space and 80 linear feet for hanging, with solo and group shows running 2–3 months. Proposals are adjudicated by community and City art experts. The gallery offers visitors opportunities to engage with artists and their work through monthly First Friday receptions and Artist Talks.

Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Take part in the centuries old craft that has been used all around the world! Taking discarded textiles- specifically discarded bed sheets in this case, we will be learning the art of braided in rugs- flat weaving ‘in the round’. Clean sheets will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own as well! Participants will walk away with a started project and a pamphlet on how to finish their rag rugs at home!

The Alberta Society of Artists is pleased to present an exhibition featuring the work of Alberta artists Duo Duo (Doris Charest, ASA and Karen Blanchet).

“Weaving disparate materials together mirrors the essence of our universe. We are still learning how interconnected life is, how all the pieces of the puzzle seem dependent upon one another”.

This exhibition coincides with the play “Waiting for the Parade”, which runs April 15-25, 2026, at the Walterdale Theatre, 10322 83 Ave. NW, Edmonton Alberta.

2026 Call for Board Members

SNAP is seeking 2-5 new folks to join our Board of Directors. If you have a passion or curiosity for art, printmaking, or arts organizations, we would love to connect with you! Board directors are our community liaisons — building and nurturing connections with, and for, the communities our members live, work, and create in. Interested individuals should have an openness to thought, curiosity and tenacity to re-envision systems of accountability, sustainability, and equity.

Baker Miller Pink presents “The Painter and The Lake”, a brand-new Canadian multidisciplinary show by Cayley Wreggitt and Samantha Ketsa. Peter, a down-on-his-luck painter, has hit a rut. In search of a muse, he traverses the Kananaskis backcountry until he discovers Lillian, a pristine mountain lake. But something sinister lurks beneath her surface, unearthing ghosts from Peter's past and challenging his relationship to art as a passion and a profession. “The Painter and The Lake” is presented by Baker Miller Pink as a Resident Company of Vertigo Theatre.
