ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The Alberta Society of Artists presents our annual photography exhibition “The Artists Lens 2025.”
Every year, The Alberta Society of Artists (ASA) hosts a photography exhibition at the ASA Gallery called “Artists Lens.” In preparation, “Artists Lens”, ASA puts out a call for submissions that is open to all Albertan photographers. Submissions are juried through a blind jury process. Selected artists then exhibit their works at the gallery in January and February.
The theme for “The Artists Lens 2025” is “Identity.” Artists are asked to consider how their identity shapes their work–whether it is representative of their culture, ethnicity, history or persona.
About the Land
“The Artist’s Lens 2025: Identity” is on display at the Alberta Society of Artists Galleries in the historic Crossroads Market building in the SE Mohkinstsis (Calgary).
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.
