Faces and Places

Focusing on Alberta University of the Arts as a vibrant cultural hub, Faces and Places explores Calgary’s artistic evolution and the many ways the university and the city have inspired storytelling across art forms. Drawing on local archives and personal narratives, the show reveals how artists and designers have documented, celebrated and connected their communities since the 1970s. By connecting historical narratives with contemporary practices, the exhibition artfully captures the city’s ethos while affirming AUArts as a vital cornerstone to Calgary’s imagination and artistic identity.
