The Alberta Spirit Show 2023 by the Alberta Community Art Clubs Association (ACACA) is here in Red Deer.

The Red Deer Arts Council and Red Deer Public Library announced this week that the show will run in the Kiwanis Gallery from August 29 to October 15, 2023.

The ACACA is a province-wide organization that supports artists in all stages of their development, through juried shows along with critiques at the Zone shows of Northern, Central and Southern Alberta.

Selected artworks from the awards and achievements from each zone show make up the Alberta Wide Show as a culmination of the yearly exhibitions. Youth, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Masters, Signature, Sculpture, Fibre and Digital are the categories into which artists enter their artwork. It contains a variety of art pieces ranging from 2D paintings to Digital Art (Illustration and Manipulation), Sculptures (Metal, Bronze, Wood and Plaster Strips) and Fibre Art.

“The Alberta Spirit Show is the best of the best,” said the Association in a release. “Truly, the best of the best is an understatement!”

The ACACA was founded in 1968 under the guidance of Professor Wohlfarth who taught at the University of Alberta Extension Department. The Association believes it fills a unique niche promoting artists and its members across Alberta. As a grassroots charitable non-profit organization, it is the only one of its kind in Canada to promote the understanding and the practices of the visual arts in Alberta.

The Association organizes exhibitions, juried shows and educational workshops for two-dimensional visual art pieces at the provincial level and at three regional levels.
