This exhibition features the art of ten artists with Developmental Disabilities who are all supported in their art making by being members of the collective at the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts.

Comprising of a collection of recent paintings of real and imagined landscapes within Edmonton, a living wall of tropical plants, and a soundscape of the Edmonton River Valley, this exhibition by Emmanuel Osahor attempts to hold the tension of failure and impossibility within utopic desire, while also conveying the persistence of hope that is at the core of the human experience.

You are invited to McMullen Gallery’s third annual Show & Sale, just in time for the Holidays. Buy a unique gift for someone (or yourself!) and support local artists and the Friends’ Arts in Healthcare Program.

Please join us as we launch our exhibition, This Art Makes Me Feel… 2019, celebrating the power of art in this hospital. Exceptional works from the Collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts have been curated based on their potential impact in the healthcare environment, and viewers will have the chance to share how they feel about each piece by writing their response on a post-it note.

Sanctuary brings together the works of Noemi de Bruijn and Julya Hajnoczky, encouraging visitors to challenge their idealized notion of ‘home’. By drawing on nostalgia felt for lost or absent homes, the show presents ideas of displacement and belonging in the spaces we occupy, as well as our interactions with vast landscapes.

In “a la carte” Marc Siegner present a series of vignettes in which he pairs a food cart with a location.

McMullen Gallery and the Keiskamma Trust Art Project are partnering up for a new exhibit, known as Imbumba. Appropriately named after a bean seed, Imbumba represents the unending cycle of life, and the concepts of renewal and growth. Included are portraits of people who are the life-blood of the community. Other works depict aspects of growth and life in the village and that of the natural world which sustains and feeds them.
