The Works Art & Design Festival 2026 Call to Enter

The Works International Visual Arts Society produces art and education initiatives that engage diverse communities, disrupt the everyday, and facilitate connection and wonder. The Works is now calling for proposals for exhibits and installations, to animate Sir Winston Churchill Square and other public spaces in Edmonton, June 19 to July 1, 2026.  

Applicants are encouraged to apply with projects that consider location, environment, proximity, and influence, while considering the following guiding questions:  

Open Call for "In the Meantime"

The Alberta Society of Artists invites all artists in Alberta (must be 18 years of age or older) to submit to the exhibition, “In the Meantime”. “This theme invites artists to explore the spaces in between—between moments, between decisions, between versions of ourselves. It is a meditation on pause, transition, and stillness—on the subtle rhythms that shape our lives when nothing dramatic seems to be happening. We are interested in work that engages with the liminal, the preparatory, or the unresolved.

Audacious

Please join us for AUDACIOUS, where longtime colleagues Shona Rae & Barb Temple create work rooted in life, death and the messy business of growing up.  By reclaiming discarded, once-loved objects, they transform the overlooked into vessels of critique, reflection and resilience.  From Rae’s decorative tins reimagined as landscapes to Temple’s shadow boxes of rescued baby dolls, Audacious invites viewers to reconsider what is forgotten - and see existence itself as fragile, unpredictable, and worthy of attention. With 45 pieces of art to discover you may want to stay awhile!
