Alberta art for Albertans 🌾
Since 1980, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) has supported a provincial Travelling Exhibition program known as TREX.
The TREX program strives to ensure every Albertan has an opportunity to see professionally curated visual art exhibitions in their community. Venues include schools, libraries, healthcare centres and smaller rural institutions and galleries throughout the province. The program showcases the AFA’s extensive art collection and the work of contemporary Alberta artists.

Four regional organizations coordinate the program for the AFA:
These partners
offer a wide range of exhibitions to communities from High Level in the north,
to Milk River in the south and virtually everywhere in between. Annually, more
than 600,000 visitors enjoy exhibitions in over 150 venues. The
program is the only one of its kind in western Canada and runs year round. TREX also offers educational support materials to
integrate exhibitions into the school curriculum and runs a Visiting Artist program with select exhibitions.

FEB 8 – APR 5, 2025 ︎︎︎ Soft Stories

FEB 8 – APR 5, 2025 ︎︎︎ FREE Drop-in Art Stations: Community Weaving Edition 🧶
We are very excited to offer two Drop-in Art Stations focused around weaving. Contribute to our Community Weaving Project on a large-scale, wall-mounted loom at TREX Space. This work will evolve over the duration of the exhibition as a collective art piece made by our community! If you’d like to work on something smaller scale, grab a coffee or tea and plan to spend some time weaving on our table looms at TREX Space — the perfect winter art project for beginners or experienced weavers!
