August 20- September 25, 2005 Main Gallery Emma Lake School Of Art Selections from the Permanent Collection Curated by: Brenda Barry Byrne The Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus has achieved national and international renown, but its long-lasting effects have particular significance among artists on the prairies. The year 2005 marks the 50th year of the Emma Lake Artists’ Workshop; it was conceived during the Great Depression on the Prairies, and has since become known as the most important concentration of creative activity in the West. This exhibit of work from the Art Gallery of Prince Albert’s Permanent Collection showcases passion, history, connections, and the significant impact of Emma Lake Art Camp on local artists. This exhibit compliments a virtual exhibit entitled Influences of Emma Lake Art School will be featured on the Virtual Museum Canada website (www.virtualmuseum.ca ).
August 8 - September 25, 2005 Fringe Gallery Sharp Needles Embroiderer’s Guild The Sharp Needles Embroidery Guild will be presenting work from present members as well as historical work from members’ personal collections as a Centennial Project. The work included in this exhibition describes a wide variety of embroidery techniques and styles. August 19 – September 30, 2005 Studio Gallery Art Abilities  In co-operation with the Association for Community Living The ‘Friday Art Class’ gave young people that face intellectual and physical challenges the opportunity to become active participants in the Art Gallery. This is the second year of this program and the second showing of the accumulation of a summer of work. This is a wonderful outlet for learning more about abilities, rather than focussing on disabilities.
Main Gallery October 3-November 27, 2005 Cowboys and Indians(and Metis?) David Garneau Metis people are in and between dominant and Aboriginal cultures, races and histories. “Cowboys and Indians (and Metis?)”is an exploration of this play of identity, association and meaning. On one level, the work is an impersonal reflection. Most of the images are appropriated and the painting styles imitations. The copies are often of (mis)representations, or of images that Garneau would not, personally, be comfortable with, or even imagine, originating. In most cases, the artist is making reports, jokes and ironic juxtapositions; opening questions and wounds rather than offering answers and healing.
October 4-November 24, 2005 Fringe Gallery My Assimilation Jr. Metis Artist: Michel Boutin Curated by Brenda Barry Byrne Working in a mentee capacity with David Garneau, this exhibition will focus on the work of Michel Boutin, analysing issues surrounding the rediscovery of his Metis heritage.
November 18-21, 2005 Main Gallery & Fringe Gallery Festival of Trees In conjunction with the Victoria Hospital Foundation, the Art Gallery of Prince Albert will be participating in the Festival of Trees. We are asking schools to participate in the poster contest.
December 5, 2005-January 29, 2006 Main Gallery Mad, mad, mad, mad world Monica Napier Co-curated by Helen Marzolf & Brenda Barry Byrne Montreal based artist (who lived in Saskatchewan for several years) Monica Napier explores the notion of power; literal via extension cords and conceptually through the evolving form, size, suggestion and context. It is about distance and proximity, connection and, quite literally , energy. Western culture (over)consumption at the expense of third worlds; excess, obesity and “western greed/need” are entwined in the wrapped/coiled cords.
December 3-January 29, 2006 Fringe Gallery Expressions Two This is the second annual exhibition of work by Seniors in the Prince Albert Community. This exhibition is presented in co-operation with Prince Albert Housing Authority.
