ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Join the Alberta Society of Artists for the 2024 rendition of “Artist’s Choice” in Edmonton, showing a broad selection of visual artworks submitted by our current Juried and Life Members.
Each Artist is invited to submit a work of their choosing for display. This creates a dynamic opportunity for our Juried and Life Members to showcase works that may not be available for commercial galleries, are exploratory, or cover themes they have limited opportunities to present. Our members’ work covers a diverse range of disciplines including drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, installation, assemblage, and new media.
This exhibition coincides with ‘It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play (Full Length Version)’ by Joe Landry, which runs December 4-14th at the Walterdale Theatre, 10322 83 Ave. NW Edmonton, Alberta.
This exhibition is free and open to the public whenever the theatre is open.

About the Land
Artist’s Choice Edmonton 2024 is on display at the historical Walterdale Theatre building, originally the Strathcona Fire Hall Number 1 built in 1910, in what is currently known as Edmonton, Alberta.
The Walterdale Theatre acknowledges that our theatre is located on Treaty 6, a traditional territory of the Cree and has been an important trading place of the Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Nakota Sioux, Dene, Saulteau, and Métis peoples of western Canada for many thousands of years. We also recognize and honour that we are Treaty people and therefore seek to uphold the spirit and intent of this Treaty of Peace and Friendship.
The Alberta Society of Artists (ASA) acknowledges that what we call Alberta, where our organization has found its’ home, is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Nehiyawak (Cree), Dene Tha’ (Slavey), Dane-zaa (Beaver), Denesuliné (Chipewyan), Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Iyarhe Nakoda (Stoney) (Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley), and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland.
