Art's Alive and Well in the Schools Opening Reception
Southern Alberta Art Gallery | 601 - 3 Ave S

For 30 years, Art's Alive and Well in the School has been a part of the artistic development of the youth in our community. Programmed every year into the Southern Alberta Art Gallery's exhibition schedule, Art's Alive displays the artwork of hundreds of student artists from Lethbridge School District #51 and the Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate School Division #4. Many adults in the community remember, as children, proudly bringing their parents to see their artwork exhibited in Art's Alive, and now their children are getting this same opportunity.
