Call for submissions: Art Show & Sale

The Town of Sylvan Lake is hosting its third Art Show & Sale, and is open for artist submissions! The Art Show & Sale features Albertan artists who specialize in painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, textiles, photography, sculpture and more. Taking place during Sylvan's 1913 Days festival (which draws in tens of thousands of visitors to the town), it's an opportunity for artists to show their work to new audiences, make connections and sell their art.

Let’s Make a Mural!

Don’t let your art hit a wall — paint it! This course, taught at Red Deer Polytechnic, is designed to deconstruct the mystery and trepidation around mural-making for new-to-it artists. Learn practical mural-making skills, and how plan & propose your own murals to granting organizations. We’ll look to visual projects from around the globe for inspiration and learn from talks by local mural artists. Throughout the week, class-mates will create their own collaborative group murals.
