Olympians of the Bow Valley More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 01 to Apr 04 Every four years, the best athletes in the world match skill and endurance in the Olympic Winter Games. The purposes of these games are to foster the ideal of a “sound mind in a sound body” and to promote friendship among nations. Olympic athletes are the greatest ambassadors of goodwill in the world of sports. For decades, the Bow Valley has been home to, and a training ground for, hundreds of people who have excelled at their sport and been chosen to represent Canada at the Olympic Winter Games. The athletes chosen to participate in this exhibition are only a small selection of athletes from the Bow Valley that have represented Canada. On the eve of the upcoming games in Vancouver, B.C. in February 2010, this exhibition is a tribute to all those who are the best athletes in the world.
High Fashion in the Rockies More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 01 to Oct 31 Celebrate the Luxtons – one of Banff’s most well-known and influential families. This exhibition is a tribute to the spirit, vision, commitment, and creative energy of one of the early pioneer families in Banff and the Bow Valley.
High Fashion in the Rockies – A new story has been added focusing on a surprising collection of gorgeous dresses belonging to Georgina and Eleanor – the Luxton ladies. Rediscovered in the Eleanor Luxton Historical Foundation collection were dozens of beautiful dresses from 1910 through the 1960s. A small percentage of this extraordinary assortment of apparel along with accessories including gloves, purses, smoking paraphernalia and lingerie, is now in the Heritage Gallery as part of The Stuff of Legend: The Luxton Family in Banff and the Bow Valley.
Kainai: People of The Blood, Photographs by George Webber More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 01 to Apr 04 Since 1992 George Webber has made photographs on the Blood Reserve, journeying "from the land of the dog to the land of the wolf." Ritual, celebration, and the hard facts of everyday life are the themes Webber explores in his intimate photographs of darkness and hope. This exhibition is part of EXPOSURE 2010.
Through the Lens 2010 More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 01 to Apr 04 Over the past 13 years more than 500 students have participated in this exciting program and exhibition for local and international students. This year, students from Banff, Canmore, Morley, and the Ukraine, will participate.
Deryk Houston More Info
|
+ My Favorites Mar 13 Peace activist and painter Deryk Houston returns to Canada House Gallery for his 4th solo exhibition focusing on a new passion: raising awareness for the fragile and spectacular region Muskwa Kechika of northern British Columbia. It is not very often that one gets access to the kind of wilderness found in the Muskwa Kechika. In the summer of 2009 Houston rode horseback over mountain passes and down into huge valleys for eleven days. His group was led by Wayne Sawchuk and had an adventure every day. They encountered grizzlies in narrow mountain passes and even hauled a horse out of the river by rope. The National Geographic November 2008 edition has a story on Wayne and the Muskwa Kechika. This spectacular exhibition will show the results of the inspiring journeys that Houston experienced in this region.

Robert Genn - Recent Works More Info
|
+ My Favorites Apr 24 Canada House Gallery is thrilled to welcome Robert Genn back for a solo exhibition inspired by both Genn's worldly travels and local mountainous treks. Favouring the magical Lake O'Hara, Genn loves to walk in the footsteps of John Singer Sargent and J.E.H MacDonald in a quest to capture the vistas that inspired great artists of history. Artist reception and book release of Robert Genn The Twice-Weekly Letters July 10, 1999 to Sept 25, 2009
Opening reception Saturday May 15, 2010 1-3pm at Canada House Gallery, 201 Bear Street, Banff. Everyone is welcome to celebrate this Canadian legend.
This is likely to be the last significant collection of Allen Sapp's work available to Canada House Gallery, and is so special as it represents various decades of work. This collection features 10 paintings from the 1960's, 2 from the 1970's, 2 from the 1980's and 39 from the 2000's. One piece of note, George Washington (circa 1966) was exhibited at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina, SK 1994-6.
This is a rare and perhaps one of the last opportunities to select from such a range of Sapp's work.
Allen, now 82 years old, was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy in 1973. He was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1987 by Governor General Jeanne Sauve, in recognition of his achievements in the visual arts. He has had numerous exhibitions throughout Canada and abroad, including New York, Los Angeles and London.
