Opening reception: April 20 from 1 – 4 PM, with artist in attendance

Jason Carter explores Spring with Colour and Pop! Bold, brilliant and wildly whimsical are just a few words to describe his latest collection in stone and canvas. The coming Spring means the return of colour to our natural landscape- and Jason Carter really makes it pop! 

Jason Carter is an Indigenous sculptor, painter, illustrator and public artist from the Little Red River Cree Nation. He grew up in Edmonton and is a graduate of both NAIT and MacEwan University (where he was awarded a Distinguished Alumni in 2017), and was the only Alberta artist to have his own solo show at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. He has major permanent installations in both the Calgary & Edmonton International Airports, and both sculpture and canvas artwork in many public places (NAC, AFA, YWCA Calgary, Travel Alberta, Wood Buffalo Region, Stantec, Banff Caribou Properties, Canada Goose), and private collections globally.

Jason has illustrated 5 children’s books and created & installed The World Of Boo for the Art Gallery of Alberta in 2015.  He created permanent murals for the Amiskwaskahegan (Beaver Hills Park) in Edmonton and was one of three artists part of the LRT/SOUTH Extension beautification project. In February 2019, he was featured on Property Brothers on HGTV.  Many schools in and around Alberta and Canada are currently studying Jason Carter and his body of work and he could not be more humbled by this.
