The gallery offers a safe and bold space for exhibiting visual art and design. Our team curates, coordinates and promotes works from a diversity of cultures including francophone artists.
October 17 to December 15, 2024
History
In 2014, Galerie Cité started thanks to the Edmonton Heritage Council’s Living Local grant program, the Edmonton Arts Council, and the Federation of Community Leagues. Our project partners were La Cité francophone and the Bonnie Doon Community League. Together, we transformed the public space of the French Cultural Centre into a public art gallery offering workshops and events to the community. The Galerie Cité project provided unique opportunities for participants to explore the history of the area through visual art exhibitions, workshops and events.
Today, Galerie Cité provides a forum for continued visual artistic expression, dialogue and relationship building between Francophone artists, curators, and the greater culture within Edmonton. Galerie Cité strives to continue to develop new partnerships and to build on relationships with Artist, The Works Art & Design Festival, Rubaboo and Dreamspeakers Festivals.
