Landing — TREX Southeast

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. TREX partners with schools, libraries, healthcare centres and smaller rural institutions and galleries to display exhibitions in accessible locations throughout the province. The program showcases the AFA’s extensive art collection and the work of contemporary Alberta artists.
