The Alberta Community Art Clubs Association's Spirit Show follows the province-wide Zone shows each year. The Alberta Spirit Show this year is made up of the best of the works from the Northern, Central and Southern Zone shows to produce the Alberta Wide Exhibition. Truly, the best of the best is an understatement!
Selected artworks from the awards and achievements from each zone show make up the Alberta Wide show. Youth, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Masters, Signature, Sculpture, Fibre and Digital are the categories into which artists enter their artwork. The Alberta Wide show is the culmination of their yearly exhibitions. It contains a variety of art pieces ranging from 2D paintings to Digital Art (Illustration and Manipulation), Sculptures (Metal, Bronze, Wood and Plaster Strips) and Fibre Art.
There will be approximately 10 awarded pieces of art from the Northern Zone show held in Redwater, 7 from the Central Zone Show held in Camrose, and 9 from the Southern Zone show held in Taber. Memorial Award artworks includes approximately 7 pieces. All in all, we can look to admire approximately 30 to 32 pieces of art in the exhibit.
