The SAAG is proud to be a partner of the University of Lethbridge’s Art NOW and Architecture & Design NOW lecture series, now streaming online over zoom. Encompassing presentations by artists, curators, critics, art historians, theorists, filmmakers, and more, these speaker series are of the largest and longest running programs in the country, having hosted more than 700 presenters over more than three decades. The SAAG contributes to the diverse spectrum of presenters by recommending our roster of contemporary practicing artists and curators as guests.
Supported by the Canada Council and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the course offers presentations from a wide array of arts professionals. Representing a wide range of contemporary practices, up to three different speakers each week discuss their ideas, working methods, and interests in the visual arts. With about 30 speakers per semester, Art NOW is an amazing resource for anyone interested in contemporary art. Best of all, the lectures are open to the public - everyone is welcome!
These events are hosted online over zoom, registration is through the University of Lethbridge.
