Now Open

'ROYGBIV'

September 4, 2021 – January 22, 2022  

ROYGBIV —  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.

ROYGBIV features the artwork of:

  • Kapwani Kiwanga 
  • Shoplifter (Hrafnhildur Arnardottir) 
  • Rodney Latourelle and Louise Witthöft 
  • Anri Sala 

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.

Final Call for the AGA Youth Council | 2021-2022

Deadline September 17 at 5pm MDT 

The AGA Youth Council wants you!

The Art Gallery of Alberta is currently seeking applications from local youth (aged 13-17) for a volunteer committee assisting in the development of youth programming at the AGA. 

The youth council is part of an ongoing initiative to develop youth audiences at the Art Gallery of Alberta. Working closely with museum professionals, interested youth participate in the decision-making and creation of a brave space for youth to explore, experiment and express themselves through the arts. Consequently, AGA is better positioned to develop meaningful experiences and opportunities for youth to engage with art, their own creative practices and their community.
