The Travelling Exhibitions (TREX) program brings engaging art exhibitions directly into communities across Alberta by partnering with local venues to host month-long exhibitions in their spaces, helping to share art experiences with communities of all sizes. We welcome Northwest Alberta venues of all kinds, including schools, libraries, theatres, archives, museums, galleries, community centres, health centres, visitor centres, and tourism centres to book month-long exhibitions for their community using the request form.
Exhibition themes are varied to suit every audience, with historic and contemporary artwork in a wide range of mediums. Each exhibition comes with an educator’s guide that provides exhibition interpretation, curriculum connections, creative activities, and relevant historical information.
Exhibitions are designed for ease of handling and may be displayed in different ways depending on the type and amount of space available. The TREX program covers almost all fees for the exhibitions (including shipping and insurance). There is only a 75$ booking fee.
