Visit historic sites & museums for free during Alberta Arts Days!

Posted on: Sep 07 2010 | Posted in: Arts, Culture, & Heritage


Alberta’s provincially owned historic sites and museums will be offering free admission and special arts programming during Alberta Arts Days: September 17 to 19.
 
Free access to facilities includes the Royal Alberta Museum, the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump and the Remington Carriage Museum, among others. Planned activities include music performances, fine art installations, and special tours and demonstrations.
Alberta Arts Days is a celebration of our culture, heritage, artistic diversity and provincial pride. Community groups and organizations are encouraged to join the celebration and show their support for local art and culture by hosting an event or activity. In 2009, 116 Alberta communities hosted 571 events showcasing their unique talents and gifts. Some examples of activities included employee poetry contests, school dance-a-thons, library puppet shows, outdoor concerts and film nights; and community art walks.
