The artistic vision driving the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery’s exhibitions and programs is to generate deeply meaningful engagement with art in order to spark contemplation, learning, and dialogue amongst a diverse group of people. The three pillars guiding this vision are: art is relevant—art sparks curiosity, invites learning, and crosses barriers; research—the Art Gallery partners with scholars to study what is involved with effective public engagement and works with artists as long-term research partners; and foundation—we can only achieve our goal with a strong foundation of staff, resources, infrastructure, and a well-managed art collection. Our public programs, events, and exhibitions connect diverse communities, contemporary artists, and art collections.
