Women of the AGA: Celebrating 100 Years of Achievement with YWCA Edmonton

Description

Women of the AGA: Celebrating 100 Years of Achievement

AGA (Art Gallery of Alberta) is turning 100 and to celebrate this important milestone, YWCA Edmonton and AGA have teamed up to showcase the incredible contributions that women have made to the province’s oldest cultural institution over the past century. There’s lots to see, including a collection of pieces by trailblazing female Albertan artists curated by AGA Associate Curator and Collections Manager Danielle Siemens.

Women of the AGA: Celebrating 100 Years of Achievement runs until early August and is financially supported by the Edmonton Heritage Council. The exhibit also features storytelling about nine women who helped shape and build AGA. You’ll meet everyone from Maud Bowman, the gallery’s first president and executive director, to Brenda Draney, an Edmonton based artist and AGA’s first Indigenous board member.

Please join us for a free public viewing at YWCA Edmonton offices on Saturday, May 25 between 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. This is a drop-in event.
