In this final exhibition marking the Art Gallery of Alberta’s 100^th anniversary, fourteen Alberta artists consider collective and individual futures while reflecting on two interrelated questions: What can we hold onto? And What will we leave behind? This exhibition considers what we need, what we don’t, what is possible to maintain and the marks and legacies we leave.

This exhibition was created through an open call. Nearly 200 artists submitted their work for consideration. A jury of Alberta based arts professionals comprised of Mohsen Ahi Andy, Su Ying Strang and Hannah Quimper-Swiderski created a long-list of 30 artists from which this exhibition was curated. Thank you to all the artists who submitted their work, the jury for their careful considerations, and to the artists who are included in this exhibition.

Organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta and curated by Lindsey Sharman.

Artists: Mohammad Abbasi, Forouzan Afrouzi, Erin Boake, Raneece Buddan, Lauren Chipeur, Lara Felsing, Megan Feniak, Cheyenne LeGrande, Simone Saunders, Angeline Simon, Taiessa, Teresa Tam, Allison Tunis, Alex R.M. Thompson
