Visual Arts and New Media

Alberta's arts scene features a talented and diverse visual arts community enriching communities across the province.

Alberta visual artists can apply through the visual arts and new media project grant stream or Art Acquisition by Application program available through the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA).

For more information about AFA grant programs or the visual arts community in Alberta, interested artists should contact Sheelagh Dunlap, Arts Development Consultant, at (780) 415-0289 or by e-mail at sheelagh.dunlap@gov.ab.ca.

Individuals interested in exploring the visual arts in their community can seek out exhibitions from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts’ Travelling Exhibition Program or visit our Guide to Galleries and Craft Outlets in Alberta.
