Arts

Alberta's culture is an essential ingredient in a well-lived life. Supporting our culture is a priority of the Alberta government--we are working on a cultural policy that will encompass Alberta's cultural, historical and natural heritage.   Our culture is also on full display in film productions. We work with the film industry to encourage film and television productions to take advantage of Alberta's spectacular location, top notch crews and services, and the film development grant program.
