Rent + Buy Art

The Rental and Sales Gallery represents more than 45 local and regional artists. New artwork is regularly added to our inventory of over 300 pieces. A wide range of sizes, mediums, styles and subject matter are available to suit any budget.

Orange Shirt Day

We are committed to Reconciliation and regularly offer Indigenous programming for the community. However, this month, we welcome you to mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with us actively. The day honours the children who never returned home, the Survivors of Residential Schools, and their affected families and communities. On September 30, Canadians are encouraged to wear orange to honour those impacted. The orange shirt symbolizes the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

Upcoming Events

Métis people have called the area around Big Lake and the Sturgeon River home for generations. Come experience Métis culture at St. Albert’s Historic River Lot 24 through music, craft, and intimate conversations about aspects of Métis culture.

Popular Nigerian Melon Seed Soup Demo by Yinka (Yinkusbites)
(Presented by the Africans & Africans Descendants Friendship Club of St. Albert)
 
Yinka was born and raised in Lagos Nigeria. Cooking was a hobby that she discovered during her undergraduate studies at the University of Ibadan. Food is a game changer and while learning more about food and cooking, Yinka has made lots of friends and created new connections. She shares her popular recipes on her Instagram page, @yinkusbites. 
 
During this session, Yinka will prepare Melon Seed Soup that participants will be able to taste, and then everyone will tour the historic Little White School. 

Join exhibiting artist Eunju Park for a free art workshop inspired by her exhibition Hanji, currently on at the Art Gallery of St. Albert. Families and artists of all ages will learn more about the positive messaging found in each of Park’s colourful artworks and create their own hanji artwork using traditional Korean mulberry paper. Registration is limited.

Local author, Marilyn McGreer will share stories about the foods that she was raised with and the family cookbook they inspired, “The Essence of Caribbean Cooking”. Marilyn is a member of the Afro Jamaican Caribbean Community. She along with her siblings have lived in Alberta since March 4, 1969, when her parents made the decision to emigrate to Canada, after living in the UK for several years. For the past thirty years Marilyn and her husband Ted, along with their three now grown adult children, have been residents of the St. Albert community.

She has earned the respect of her community as an active volunteer leader, as a Professional Home Economist, and a retired health care educator.

Edmonton based artist Riaz Mehmood strives to capture the complexities of his homeland, Khyber Paskhtunkhwa, Pakistan. On December 16, 2014, 134 school children and 15 adults were killed when heavily armed militants stormed the Army Public School & College in nearby Peshawar. As a vital tool of resistance, the community is committed to remembering those who were lost, in their continued search for justice. In Remember/Resist/Relive, Mehmood tenderly crafts a space to honour this terrible loss, and to gently hold their grief.
