The Crowsnest Pass Public Art Gallery has issued an open call for its Annual Juried Summer Exhibition, titled "Sight and Sound." This year’s theme celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Crowsnest Pass Community Orchestra by inviting artists to explore the intersection of visual art and music. Submissions are open to all artists until May 31, with a jury selecting approximately 16 participants based on originality, composition, and thematic relevance.
This initiative highlights the importance of regional art centers in fostering community identity and cross-disciplinary collaboration. By pairing visual arts with a century-old local musical legacy, the exhibition provides a platform for rural artists to gain professional exposure while strengthening the cultural fabric of the Alberta mountain region.
