All the Time in the World
APR 20 – JUN 1, 2024

All the Time in the World presents a collection of artworks that chronicle the story of an imaginary summer road trip. Borrowed from the Alberta Foundation for the Art’s permanent collection, audiences are sure to encounter familiar sites and scenes in this broad array of artworks: a 1980’s photograph of RVs parked in the picturesque Tunnel Mountain campsite; a woodcut image of bathers enjoying the upper hot springs in Banff and many more provincial icons. This exhibition longs for the easy days of summer spent driving endless roadways, sleeping in pop-up tents and marvelling at a diversity of flora and fauna. This road trip offers a respite from the busy modern life and acts as a reminder that there is more than enough time to breathe in all the goodness of the world.

Hindsight 2020
MAY 22 – JUL 3, 2021

Innocently pre-pandemic and poignantly titled, the Medicine Hat College Art & Design class of 2020 chose a theme that allowed them to reflect on their creative journeys up to that point.

Vital Patterns
MAR 3 – APR 7, 2021

Nature serves as a significant inspiration and when we look closer at the building blocks of the natural world, we often find similar interconnecting patterns; the roots of a tree system and our nervous system, the veins of a leaf and the veins in our own body, the pattern of bark and the texture of our skin. These systems are vital to survival and there is beauty in the simplicity of these patterns and the complexity of these systems.

Featuring artworks by Clint Wilson, Doris Freadrich, April Dean, and William Laing.
