The Alberta Craft Council is a Provincial Arts Service Organization that develops, promotes, and advocates for Craft in Alberta. We support contemporary and heritage Crafts as significant art forms that contribute to Alberta’s culture, and are invested in developing a craft sector of creative, skilled, viable, and sustainable craftspeople, studios, businesses, and networks.

We have been operating since 1980, and currently run two Alberta Craft Gallery & Shop locations in Edmonton and Calgary. Both locations offer free access to exhibitions, social enterprise retail, and online programming including artists talks and professional development opportunities for Alberta Craft artists.

“The exhibition features collections of rebuses, riddles made up of pictures and symbols that make up a word, phrase or sentence.

For example, a picture of a lightbulb alongside a house would be a lighthouse.

A press release on the exhibition said rebuses printed on ceramic plates became popular in France in the 19th century, and often featured social and political themes.

The plates created by artist Mireille Perron are no different, featuring themes pulled from the Calgary flood and subsequent Alberta wildfires.”
