ABOUT THE EXHIBITION 

The Alberta Society of Artists is proud to present “Changing Corridors,” an exhibition featuring artworks by various Albertan artists. 

Artists’ Statement

Changing Corridors expresses the deep concern we as stewards of the land share about the environmental and ecological impact of human development adjacent to Banff National Park boundary in and around the Bow Valley.

As more and more people hope for their own piece of paradise in the Rockies, the wildlife corridor connecting Yellowstone to Yukon becomes increasingly fragile. Increased development in this area not only restricts where animals can move but also elevates the risk of human-wildlife conflict on and off trails.

If more development must proceed, it will be more important than ever for us to respect and understand the importance of the wildlife corridor. We must do our part to protect ourselves and other terrestrial, aquatic, and avian inhabitants we share the space with. 

“Changing Corridors” features artworks by various Albertan artists using different mediums from textiles, paintings, photography, digital media, sculpture art, and creative writing. We engage with the subject matter through a variety of lenses to explore the full scope and complexity of this issue. 

The collection brings art and science together to inspire empathy towards our backyard neighbours, and to communicate the importance of these wildlife corridors.
