About the Exhibitions:

AGA100: Act 1 Earth to Eternity shows a range of work that spans the spectrum of representation of the natural world, from the earthbound and every day to the sublime.  Organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta and curated by Catherine Crowston, Lindsey Sharman and Danielle Siemens. 

AGA100: Act 2 Landscape to Land Use shows a diverse range of interactions with the natural world, and shows how Albertans live on, with, and take from the land over time. Organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta and curated by Catherine Crowston, Lindsey Sharman and Danielle Siemens.
