JAN 27 – APR 8 👉 Party On! Celebrating 50 years of the AFA Collection
Party On! Celebrating 50 years of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection presents a lively grouping of work by 14 Albertan artists. Each artwork depicts a single moment of shared revelry and interconnectedness; scenes of musical performances, dancing, carnivals, community gatherings and shared food and drink help mark this special occasion. Step into our time machine to celebrate the ages of knees-up, shindigs, hoedowns and classic ding-dongs!
