The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) and Capital Power Corporation entered into a unique three-year sponsorship agreement in December 2009. The visionary initiative, Capital Powered Art, provides financial support in making world-class art available to Albertans. The long-term commitment is a rare gesture in the Canadian art world, establishing a stable environment for the AGA to plan for the future.
Capital Powered Art enables the ongoing presentation of works from the collection of the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) in Alberta. Over the next three years, The National Gallery of Canada at the Art Gallery of Alberta will feature more than 10 major exhibitions of significant Canadian and international art.
Capital Powered Art is an investment in the bright cultural future of Edmonton and Alberta–an investment that will generate significant returns to a tremendous number of people from a wide variety of communities. These exhibitions will help young Edmontonians and Albertans look at their world from different perspectives, and stimulate them to actively engage with different cultures and communities.
