Located on the second floor of the Suncor Community Leisure Centre at MacDonald Island Park, The Kirschner Family Community Art Gallery is a no-fee art gallery that highlights the works of local artists and celebrates the arts. The space is designed to showcase art to the general public in an easy to access and high traffic environment. Each year the Gallery introduces new art exhibitions and highlights local art organizations’ groups of works. From youth showcases to individual exhibits, the gallery highlights a variety of mediums and the diversity of talent. As arts and culture are critical components of healthy, strong and vibrant communities; the Kirschner Family Community Art Gallery provides exhibit space to promote local and regional artists as well as develop an appreciation for visual art within the community. 

Exhibits

Wood Buffalo Arts and Crafts Guild: Vigilance

January 5 – February 18, 2022

As we welcome the new year the Kirschner Family Community Art Gallery at MacDonald Island Park is pleased to host Vigilance, an exhibition featuring members of the Wood Buffalo Arts and Crafts Guild.

Vigilance was created in tribute to well-known Wood Buffalo resident Carrolle Vigilance. Carrolle, who was passionate about volunteerism in our community, passed away in March, 2018, after a short battle with cancer. The exhibit showcases art work from members of the Wood Buffalo Arts and Crafts Guild.

Vigilance will open for public viewing on January 5, 2022, at the Kirschner Family Community Art Gallery at MacDonald Island Park. The exhibition will be available for viewing until February 18, 2022.
