The Southern Alberta Art Gallery would like to thank our incredible volunteers for the support they’ve provided over the past months! Without the help of our volunteer base, SAAG could not execute the quality of events, programs and exhibitions for which we’re known. We’re always looking for enthusiastic people to join our team and to help with various projects throughout the year. The summer months provide a wealth of opportunities to get involved at SAAG – here are some of the projects we’re looking forward to...
