ALBERTA SOCIETY OF ARTISTS
The Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Travelling Exhibition Program (TREX) acknowledge that the artistic activity we support takes place on the traditional territories of Treaty 6, 7 and 8. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived on and cared for these lands for generations and we are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers, Elders and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on. We reaffirm our commitment to strengthening our relationships with Indigenous communities and growing our shared knowledge and understanding.
Welcome to TREX Southwest
Since 1980, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) has supported a provincial travelling exhibition program. The TREX program strives to ensure every Albertan is provided with an opportunity to enjoy fully developed exhibitions in schools, libraries, healthcare centres, and smaller rural institutions and galleries throughout the province. The TREX program assists in making both the AFA’s extensive art collection and the work of contemporary Alberta artists available to Albertans. Four regional organizations coordinate the program for the AFA:
REGION ONE — Northwest The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie

REGION TWO — Northeast / North Central The Art Gallery of Alberta
REGION THREE — Southwest The Alberta Society of Artists

REGION FOUR — Southeast The Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre
