Light+Vibrotactile Public Exhibition
The Invisible Practice invites you to a playground for the senses!
The Invisible Practice proudly presents Light+Vibrotactile, a series of playfully interactive installations that will surprise and intrigue. The exhibition is free and open to the public starting January 17 until January 31, 2026.
Light+Vibrotactile, or L+V for short, is a technical exploration where we challenge ourselves to consider:
“How can the most poetic expressions of the world be conveyed through sight and touch, rather than sound?”

Two Communities ~ One heART
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.

Body
Joan Stebbins, former Director and Curator of the Southern Alberta Art Gallery Maansiksikaitsitapiitsinikssin (SAAG), passed away on December 13, 2025 at the age of 84.
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.
To honour the memory of Joan Stebbins and her invaluable contributions to the visual arts, we present her artwork, Heart Attacks (1979), which is part of the Collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
