Art's Alive and Well in the Schools Opening Ceremonies
Southern Alberta Art Gallery | 601 - 3 Ave S

For 31 years, Art's Alive and Well in the Schools has been a part of the artistic development of the youth in our community. Programmed every year into the Southern Alberta Art Gallery's exhibition schedule, Art's Alive displays the artwork of hundreds of student artists from Lethbridge School District #51, the Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate School Division #4, Immanuel Christian Schools and L'Ecole La Verendrye. Many adults in the community remember, as children, proudly bringing their parents to see their artwork exhibited in Art's Alive, and now their children are getting this same opportunity.

Prisoners of War [Museum Community Day]
Galt Museum & Archives | west end 5 Ave S off Scenic Drive

A little known story from WWII is that nearly 34,000 German prisoners of war were sent to internment camps in Canada. As part of the war effort, Alberta housed and manned four of the largest camps. Many Albertans who served overseas were made prisoners in Germany, including those captured at Dieppe in 1942 and members of the Royal Canadian Air Force shot down over enemy territory. Closes SEP 21.
