About
“Alberta Views: Our Landscape, Our Home, Our Legacy” is an exhibition of female Alberta landscape artists who are inspired by the environment of their majestic province. All working in a variety of artistic styles and using a range of creative materials, these artists present their perspective on the Alberta landscape in paint, photograph, sculpture, and mixed-media art. They challenge us to contemplate the land beneath our feet, how it has changed and continues to develop and play a role in our lives. “Alberta Views” artists inspire us to pause, give thanks, and explore the diverse landscape on our doorsteps. Think vibrant prairie skies, looming mountains, and beyond. The Indigenous artists in the exhibit help us appreciate their unique bond to the province and their continued celebration of their ancestral land. Featuring artwork by Cynthia McLaren, Mary Hughes, Suzan Berwald, Michelle Erickson, Dawn Saunders Dahl, Dawn Marie Marchand curated by Alexis Marie Chute at the Renaissance Edmonton Airport Hotel August 23 to October 31, 2020
