Public Engagement
Engage with The Gallery + Artists + ArtworksExhibition Openings
Throughout the year The Gallery hosts exhibition openings free to the community. These building-wide events connect artists and the public in a celebratory atmosphere. Non-critical and open to all members of our community, exhibition openings are informal and fun. Meet artists, ask questions and meander the building to see new works. There are usually six exhibition openings throughout the year. Refreshments and cash bar are available.
To see our upcoming exhibition opening nights, please visit our events calendar.
Art Documentaries
Over the past two decades the AAC Gallery Program has screened art documentaries. These documentaries look at the lives and practices of contemporary working artists. Art documentaries lift the curtain for non-artists and give a peek into the working lives of artists. As contemporary artists work with current topics, many times the films reflect on soci-political aspects of our own community. The films invite conversation, reflection and often inspire.
Attendees are asked to provide a donation to offset screening fees and as a fundraiser for The Gallery at Casa.
Watch the events calendar for full details and upcoming screenings.
Interested in viewing a documentary from our library? Request a private screening at Casa! Bring friends, family, or come solo. To schedule a screening, please email Darcy Logan our Gallery Services Manager + Curator: gallery@artslethbridge.org

RAW: Real Artists at Work
This group exhibition features artworks from the Allied Arts Council’s RAW (Real Artists at Work) program. This free, drop-on program provides a creative outlet for individuals in our community who are navigating personal challenges in their lives. With guidance from artist and instructor Debbie Kelman, participants are provided space, materials and encouragement to create self-directed artwork in a safe and welcoming environment.
The RAW program is more than just making art. It’s about connection, self-expression, and providing a support system. Participants are referred to the program by support workers (often through AHS), and thanks to the Endowment Fund, they can take part without any financial barriers.
When you support the Allied Arts Council’s Endowment Fund, you’re helping to ensure programs like RAW remain accessible to those who need them most.

RAW: Real Artists at Work will be on display until September 11, 2026.
1002 4 Ave S, Lethbridge
Hours: Monday to Friday 10am-5pm
