LETHBRIDGE AREA K – 12 STUDENTS
ART’S ALIVE AND WELL IN THE SCHOOLS
11 MAY 2024 - 15 JUNE 2024
In 1976 the Southern Alberta Art Gallery opened its doors. The following year we made a commitment to providing formative opportunities for Lethbridge students from kindergarten to grade 12. Through Art’s Alive and Well in the Schools, we have been able to honour youthful creativity by exhibiting their work in a leading contemporary art gallery. Now in its 47th year, we estimate Art’s Alive has exhibited nearly 17,000 pieces over the decades. This exhibition continually reminds us that art is a fundamental aspect of learning and development.
Organized by the Lethbridge School Division, in cooperation with the Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate Regional Division, and École La Vérendrye and hosted by the Southern Alberta Art Gallery Maansiksikaitsitapiitsinikssin.
This exhibition was made possible with funding assistance from the City of Lethbridge, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
