About the Exhibition
The Red Deer Arts Council Gallery in Red Deer is holding a juried exhibition from August 31st to October 5th, 2026. Entries must be submitted to the Red Deer Arts Council by 4:30 pm, August 16, 2026.
Artists are encouraged to submit 2D, 3D or literary works related to the theme, “Thread that Connect Us”. This can be works thematically engaging with the idea of connections, people and place, people to people, community; or works engaging with the idea of threads and ties, such as textile art, stitching, quilt, weaving, lines, or more.
Artists can display their 2D, 3D and literary artworks as part of this exciting project. Words and images inspire, blur, and blend between mediums and expectations in limitless creative possibilities. This is an innovative opportunity to showcase art of many genres in Red Deer and Central Alberta.
