Last Chance!
ROYGBIV Closes January 2!
It's your last chance to explore the immersive exhibition ROYGBIV at your AGA.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet; this exhibition is a maximalist tribute to colour. The artists featured in ROYGBIV are interested in colour’s ability to alter mood, change behaviour, or simply transform space. Colours can conjure joy and playfulness, they can shape social spaces and can even be employed for social control. The projects in ROYGBIV reveal a relationship between colour, architectural form, the inner and outer spaces they can create and the resulting effects on the human body.
The subtle and not so subtle shifts and changes in colour across ROYGBIV are meant to not only engage you but to change you.
This exhibition is organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta and curated by Catherine Crowston and Lindsey Sharman. Presented as part of the Poole Center of Design.

Upcoming #AGAlives
Art and Wine with the AGA and Color de Vino
Art and Wine with the AGA and Color de Vino
Wednesday, January 5
6pm MST
Join us on the first Wednesday of the month for a conversation about art and wine with AGA Executive Director Catherine Crowston and Juanita Roos and Kelsey Roos from Color de Vino.
This month we are going to be tasting a selection of value wines selected by Color de Vino, since a good wine is not determined by its costs. We hope you will join us for this tasting as we focus on great wines that are of great value.
Drop by Color de Vino before each event to purchase the wine we will be discussing - and digesting. Participants in this virtual wine tasting will receive a discount on their wine from Color de Vino.
The program will be offered virtually, so you can enjoy your wine from the comfort of home.
Registration to this event is free for AGA members or $10 per household.
#AGAlive is presented by the EPCOR Heart + Soul Fund and the Canada Council for the Arts.

AGA ArtBreak Camps empower campers take the lead in these exploratory programs to discover the world around them through art activities, exercises and projects related to specific themes. Focusing on student interactions and personal experiences, these camps create bridges between art, ideas and our community.

Each week, we explore one of these themes, visit current exhibitions, experiment in the studio and discover the art, neighbourhoods and green spaces around the gallery.
