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
Off-site Exhibitions – Joan Waterfield Gallery

Currently on display:
The Alberta Society of Artists @albertasocietyofartists is proud to present “Boundaries,” a group exhibition featuring artworks by 16 Albertan artists. This exhibition is currently on display in the Joan Waterfield Gallery, located at the Yates Memorial Theatre.
Boundaries:
Defined as a line that marks the limits of an area, a subject or a sphere of activity. It can be real or imagined. Sometimes it can be crossed, sometimes it shouldn’t.
Artists are invited to freely explore conceptual interpretations of ‘Boundaries’ from personal, social, political, and environmental perspectives. This exhibition aims to stimulate contemplation on our relationships with freedoms and constraints, whether as a means of preservation or expression. Reflections may encompass physical, spiritual, or cultural dimensions.
