Hosted downtown at various studios and outreach locations, the Art Gallery of St. Albert offers an ever-changing variety of art classes targeted at ages from preschool to adult. Add some beauty to your life by choosing from subjects such as printmaking, sketching, watercolour painting, acrylic painting, collage and pottery. Weekly classes, as well as one-day workshops, are offered to accommodate different schedules, and programming runs throughout the calendar year. Homeschool art classes, community outreach programs and art parties are also available for booking.
The gallery shop has tons of Christmas ornaments and decorations, and they’re all made by Canadian artisans. Many of the cute ornaments you’ll find here are even made locally by hardworking artists, craftsmen and potters. Instead of picking up a pack of cookie-cutter ornaments, you can buy a one-of-a-kind ornament that doubles as a piece of art when Christmas is over. The glass ornaments, in particular, are stunning. It’s a good spot to pick up holiday gifts, too!
