	FALL EXHIBITION LINE UP The Southern Alberta Art Gallery is excited to announce our fall line up of exhibitions. Opening during Arts Days on September 29 at 8 PM, Nowhere Bodily is Everywhere Ghostly showcases the work of Calgary artist Jason de Haan. De Haan is a multidisciplinary artist whose work has been shown in exhibitions across Canada and internationally in the USA, Ireland, Mexico, Sweden, Iceland and the UK. He is currently shortlisted for the 2012 Sobey Art Award representing the Prairies and the North. Opening concurrently is Kristan Horton's One For Yourself, an exhibition that explores the photographic portrait as it collides with digital manipulation and painterly process. Kristan Horton studied fine art at the University of Guelph and the Ontario College of Art and Design. For the past decade he has shown his work widely in Canada and abroad. He has also had solo exhibitions at White Columns, New York, (2008) and The Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver (2007), among others, as well as being featured in a range of group exhibitions including those at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies, Annandale-on-Hudson; the Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo; and The Power Plant, Toronto.  He currently resides in Berlin.

	HOW TO WRITE A REVIEW WITH CANADIAN ART EDITOR RICHARD RHODES “Embrace the struggle and do something productive” – Richard Rhodes, Editor of Canadian Art magazine As writers we have the opportunity to investigate, ponder, question, praise or critique the art we see in galleries and museums. We provide a vital service that enriches experiences and promotes dialogue surrounding a particular artist or exhibition. We help shape taste, we add context, we look carefully and we build awareness – the only trouble is, writing about art is a struggle that even the most seasoned professionals face. So, in the encouraging words of Richard Rhodes, we invite you to “embrace the struggle and do something productive.” Read more Workshop: Sunday, September 30, 1 to 4 PM Registration deadline: September 26 $20 | $15 for SAAG members Call 403.327.8770 x 21 to register
