St. Albert's VASA gallery is set to host an upcoming exhibition featuring Métis art alongside works inspired by wild beasts. The show aims to highlight Indigenous perspectives and the raw energy of untamed nature through a diverse range of artistic expressions.
The Visual Arts Studio Association (VASA) is opening a new group exhibition titled "Yellow" on February 3, featuring 26 paintings by 10 local artists. The show explores the color yellow through diverse perspectives, including landscapes, abstracts, and still lifes, and will run until March 27 in the association's Corridor Gallery.
The Visual Arts Studio Association (VASA) in St. Albert is presenting 'Urban Sketching,' an exhibition featuring over 60 sketches by local artists including Lily Jeong, Julie Daly, Luise Mendler-Johnston, Elena Vlassova, Sandra Soucy, Angie Sotiropoulos, and Otto Mestinsek. The show focuses on landscapes and buildings rendered in basic, primitive styles, highlighting the artists' experimentation with simple tools like watercolours, pen and ink, and acrylic on wood. Works range from Vlassova's unfinished campus scene to Jeong's urban landscapes of Edmonton landmarks and Mendler-Johnston's mini sketches of everyday life.
St. Albert’s youth artists are showcasing their work at Amplify’s third-annual Artist Alley Winter Market: Dreaming Edition, held November 8–12 at St. Albert Place. The event features a five-day exhibition of 33 works by students from local schools, a one-day craft market with 26 artisans, and three workshops, two of which are already sold out. The theme “dreaming” inspired a wide range of pieces, from digital art and photography to acrylics and a clay sculpture titled "Stewed Tomatoes" by Grade 10 student Elle Pigeon. Live music and beginner-friendly workshops, including a Paint Party led by instructor Kaylee Rose, round out the program.
The 30th annual High Energy exhibition at the Art Gallery of St. Albert (AGSA) features over 120 artworks from students at three local high schools: École Secondaire St. Albert Catholic High School, Paul Kane High School, and Bellerose Composite High School. The 2025 theme, 'Look Up and Marvel,' encourages exploration of wonder and perspective. Curator Emily Baker notes a rise in car and truck imagery due to changing student demographics, alongside recurring subjects like music celebrities, fantasy landscapes, and pop culture. Bellerose marks Black History Month with pieces honoring figures such as Zendaya, Nina Simone, and Tupac Shakur. The exhibition opens May 8 with a reception where six Christopher Kazaleous Awards will be presented.
