About Us

Alberta Culture provides a broad range of programs that support a high quality of life and are valued by Albertans. Support to Alberta's arts and cultural industries enhances the lives of all Albertans and helps to attract and retain the creative and skilled knowledge workers Alberta needs to ensure continued prosperity.

Quality of life is further supported through programs that provide financial assistance to communities, the non-profit/voluntary sector, the arts, film and heritage. The preservation and presentation of Alberta's historical resources is realized through the Provincial Archives of Alberta and world renowned museums and historic sites across the province.

The Ministry also includes the following agencies, which report directly to the Minister:

  • Alberta Foundation for the Arts
  • Alberta Historical Resources Foundation
  • Government House Foundation
