Guilded - Gobsmacked

The Art Gallery of St. Albert (part of the Arts and Heritage Foundation) is launching its newest exhibition in the beautiful main gallery space on November 22. Guilded – Gobsmacked strives to surprise and delight. 

Featuring over 50 local and regional artists, this treasured biannual community exhibition leans into the unexpected for 2024. The artists hail from five local art guilds — St. Albert’s Potters Guild, Painters Guild, Floral Art Society, Quilters’ Guild and Paper Arts Guild. Vibrant and enthusiastic, their work celebrates the joy of creativity, delving into the artists’ passions. 

Nature has been an endless source of inspiration for these Guilded artists. From the vastness of Alberta’s skies to the beauty found in the smallest flowers and insects, they share the awe found in the world around them. 

Guilded — Gobsmacked runs until January 25.
