	EXHIBITIONS OPENING THIS SUNDAY ART'S ALIVE AND WELL IN THE SCHOOLS APRIL 28 TO JUNE 9 Opening Reception: Sunday, April 28 | 1 to 5 PM | Sponsored by Pratt & Whitney Canada At the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, springtime is celebrated with the opening of our annual exhibition Art’s Alive and Well in the Schools. The feeling of rejuvenation surrounds us as we welcome the arrival of hundreds of artworks. Brightly coloured and uninhibited, these artworks restore our own sense of joyful wonder and youthful gaiety. Read more. BLOOM APRIL 28 TO JUNE 9 This exhibition brings together a series of abstract paintings, drawings and prints that share a visual sensibility and an approach to abstraction that favors the spontaneous, organic, uninhibited and immediate. In watercolour, a ‘bloom’ refers to the migration of pigment from wetter to drier surfaces, a process in which chance is at play and the material qualities of water, paper and paint are allowed to enact their will on the picture plane.

	CHEERS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS When it comes to volunteering at SAAG, there is no job too small. From setting up and serving at a special event or exhibition opening, to lending a helping hand in our TD Creativity Centre, to assisting with exhibition installation, every minute of valuable time that our volunteers give makes a difference. In recognition of National Volunteer Week, the Southern Alberta Art Gallery would like to give a shout out to our amazing volunteers for tirelessly assisting us in executing our mandate and bringing that extra enthusiasm to the gallery when we need it the most.  We are fortunate to rely on a highly skilled and dedicated volunteer force that contributes nearly 3000 hours to the gallery on an annual basis!
