This new exhibition brings together the work of two renowned contemporary Canadian artists – Damian Moppett and Ron Moppett.

Future Station: 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art is an examination of the creative practices at work with Alberta artists and ultimately an expression on what it feels like to be an artist in Alberta. 

In 1924, Alberta artist Byron Harmon organized an expedition to take the first significant photographs and film-footage of a newly chartered territory: the Columbia Icefield.

Entitled The News from Here: The 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art will explore the theme of post-regionalism in the context of Alberta art.

This exhibition of early women modernists, all born before the end of the First World War (1918), will highlight a selection of artists engaged from the late 1930s to the 1970s with different currents of modernism.
