Culture Days Art Gallery

About the Exhibition

The Red Deer Arts Council Gallery in Red Deer is holding a juried exhibition from September 3 to September 30, 2025. Entries must be submitted to the Red Deer Arts Council by 4:30 pm, August 8, 2025.

Artists are encouraged to submit 2D, 3D or literary works related to the theme, “True North Strong and Free”. Both literal and metaphorical responses to Canada and patriotism are welcome. 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.

Whether it’s what Canada means to you, Canada’s natural beauty, or your experience living in Canada, show us what’s meaningful to you! Artists of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. We look forward to presenting the variety of different perspectives that local artists will explore through their work.

Background
