On Wednesday, July 16, join us for Power in Pink: Women Leading Out Loud, an evening hosted by the Citadel Theatre and inspired by Legally Blonde The Musical.

Hear from a panel of accomplished women in Edmonton’s business, law and non-profit sectors as they share stories of leadership, resilience, and authenticity.

This event explores the journey to confident leadership – tackling self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the courage to defy expectations. Whether you’re climbing the ladder, pivoting careers, or forging your own path as an entrepreneur, connect with peers who understand what it means to rise above being underestimated.

Joining us will be Ashlyn Bernier (COO, samdesk), Linda Hoang (Social Media Strategist, @Lindork), Christine Pratt (Partner, Field Law), and Constance Scarlett (President & CEO, TELUS World of Science). The event will be moderated by Julia Pratt (Associate Lawyer, Neuman Thompson) and hosted by Citadel Theatre’s Executive Director, Jessie van Rijn.

Let’s celebrate ambition and community, and ask – as Elle did – “What, like it’s hard?”

Tickets: $95 (includes entry to the panel discussion, light refreshments from Art of Charcuterie, one drink ticket, and one performance ticket to the showing of LEGALLY BLONDE that evening at 7:30 pm).

Gallery@501 is pleased to present Like a Rolling Stone - Habitat, a new exhibition by Saskatchewan artist Heike Fink. The exhibit opens at Gallery@501 on July 4, 2025, and shows until August 23, 2025. 

Like a Rolling Stone - Habitat is an immersive exhibit that explores the important relationship between land, wildlife, and humans. Heike Fink uses traditional and modern felting techniques to create sculptures, wall hangings and installations that reflect stories of endangered species, habitat loss and land stewardship. Visitors will encounter prairie animals, birds, birch trees, landscapes, and an incredible installation of a winding stream with 3,000 rocks, each made of wool. Visitors can interact with the rocks by moving them within the habitat, inspiring them to consider the delicate balance between humans and nature.  

This exhibition also features a resource area with opportunities for further learning and hands-on engagement with exhibit themes. The public is invited to join the exhibiting artist for an artist talk at a special reception on Thursday, August 7 at 6:30 pm at Gallery@501. This event and admission to the gallery are free.
