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
The Gallery hosts exhibitions at the Joan Waterfield Gallery located in the Genevieve E. Yates Memorial Centre.
Currently on display: Work by Isabel Robertson
Chilean born artist Isabel Robertson began drawing at a very young age alongside her brothers and sisters. Both her parents are artistically talented and instilled in her the love of art. She was raised in Saskatchewan and spent much time admiring the beauty of the outdoors. After graduating from High School, Isabel attended the foundation year at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, AB. In her art, she focuses on detail. Her drawings and paintings have a natural feeling of light, color, form and atmosphere. She captures the awe-inspiring beauty of birds and plants in her realistic paintings. As much as she enjoys working in acrylic, she loves working in conte and charcoal when doing portraits and figure drawing. Although most of her work is realistic, she is enjoying exploring other types of art as well. She was commissioned and completed an abstract and whimsical mural for the interior of the Child Development Building in Calgary, AB in 2007. Isabel works from her home studio in Stirling, AB where she now resides.
