ASA Call for Submissions: Nostalgia - Chasing Yesterday

The Alberta Society of Artists invites all artists in Alberta (must be 18 years of age or older) to submit to the exhibition, “Nostalgia – Chasing Yesterday”. “Nostalgia is a sentimental longing for the past—its people, places, events, and possibilities. What triggers this yearning? Is it the scent of something familiar, the sound of an old song, or perhaps a weathered photograph? Were the "good old days" truly as perfect as we remember, or do the mists of time cloud our perception?

ASA Call for Submissions: Finding Joy...

(Calgary, AB) The Alberta Society of Artists invites all artists in Alberta (must be 18 years of age or older) to submit to the exhibition, “Finding Joy in a Dystopian World”. “A dystopian world is one that often feels devoid of reason, a reflection of some of the struggles we face today. In such a world, how do we navigate without losing our sense of hope? Can we discover joy through the power of ideas, knowledge, and creativity? Is it possible to imagine a future where compassion, equality, and the resilient human spirit triumph over despair?
