Community Gallery
The Red Deer Arts Council's office features a Community Gallery; a small intimate gallery for emerging and well seasoned artists to display their art to the community. Our gallery books for 1-2 months for each show and is un-juried, so we accept all levels of artists and all kinds of wonderful local art. We would love to have your art in our gallery; to inquire about booking a place please email our Visual Arts Lead Bailey Horton at .

Artist Statement
I played Dungeons and Dragons as a young teen and then again as a young adult and loved the creativity that the game inspired. I came back to the game a number of years ago and fell in love all over again. As with all things creative I come across, I started sharing with my students at school, D&D club took off. Out of necessity I started creating small models for our games. Inspired by Youtube creators like fellow Canadian Jeremy at Black Magic Crafts, my designs got bigger and more complex. All the skills I have learned over the years compliment my new art form, and I am having a lot of fun creating and sharing it.
As a young kid with a severe learning disability, I learned to draw long before I learned to read. When I finally realized I was capable of communicating with the written word my preference was to communicate with my art. It wasn’t surprising that I found my way into education so I could share my love for being creative with children who are just learning what art is and what it could be. I have spent the last thirty years teaching art skills to thousands of students.
If you are interested in purchasing any of the art, inquire with a gallery attendant. Each work sold 30% commission will go to fund programs at the Red Deer Arts Council.
