The Travelling Exhibition (TREX) Lure features three Alberta-based artists who are working in the enchanting style of contemporary realism.

Although Lure has moved on to another region, we received such positive feedback from our community and school venues that we decided to make an Art at Home page for Lure to share highlights, images, and educational activities from the exhibition.

A big thank you to the TREX NW program sponsor KMSC Law!

Lure was curated by Shane Golby, Art Gallery of Alberta, TREX Region 2

NEW!!! MEET THE ARTIST  VIRTUAL EXHIBITION TOUR WITH FREE ART ACTIVITY KIT 
We are pleased to offer a new series called Meet the Artist. With this resource, you will be able to take your class on a virtual tour with the artist, through their exhibition at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie. We have created this program for you to be able to ‘visit’ the Art Gallery in the comfort of your classroom. After your class has watched the virtual exhibition tour, you can facilitate the art project inspired by the artist’s exhibition with our FREE art activity kits.

Our first MEET THE ARTIST  VIRTUAL EXHIBITION TOUR is with local artist Carmen Haakstad featuring his exhibition Domino VI. SCULPT  is the activity that comes with Carmen’s virtual tour.

Please email jamie-lee@aggp.ca or call 780-357-7480 so we can send you the link for the Meet the Artist Virtual Exhibition Tour video and coordinate the delivery of the FREE art activity kits to your location with you.

TREX (Travelling Exhibitions)
The Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) has supported a provincial travelling exhibition program (TREX) since 1981 to provide every Albertan with the opportunity to enjoy visual art exhibitions in their community. The TREX program promotes Albertan art and artists through professionally developed exhibitions for use in schools, libraries, hospitals and visitor centres, and other community venues. Each exhibition comes with an educational booklet.
