Take a drive 10 minutes from Chateau Lacombe, and you’ll find yourself at a loss and in awe of the beauty and creativity that is housed within the Art Gallery of Alberta. With over 6000 works of art, the Art Gallery of Alberta houses a large collection of art that was produced after the 1950s.
The gallery itself is a public sphere that is acting as a resource and research facility, therefore there are new collections and exhibitions to be added to be enjoyed. The collections include many photographs, installations, sculptures, as well as paintings from contemporary and historical Alberta artists and other Canadian artists.
The 85,000 square feet of space is home to the foray of regional, national, and international curations. The opportunities to learn and explore are endless with the galleries’ three full floors of premiere exhibition space. There is also a restaurant, a gallery shop, and a 150 seat theatre within the building, which in itself is a piece of art to be enjoyed. The renowned architect had constructed the renovated gallery building in 2010 with its modern designs and unconventional architecture.
