The ACACA was founded in 1968 under the direction of Professor Harry Wohlfarth from the Faculty of Extention at the University of Alberta. Not only does the ACACA wish to foster and maintain art instruction and to develop an interest in art and culture in our Alberta communities, it also aims at uniting, serving and networking artists throughout the province. The ACACA is divided into three zones in Alberta and has a non juried art show for each zone every year. At each Zone Show awards are presented in 6 categories along with a Juror's Choice Award. During the Zone Shows all the painting are juried; those selected are sent to Red Deer to be juried a second time for the Alberta Wide Art Show. The Alberta Wide Art Show gives out 11 awards. Any of the winners from the Zone Shows or the Albert Wide Show then go on to Edmonton be be in the Provincial Award Winner's Show, which is held from August 15 to October 1 at the Visual Art Alberta Gallery (VAAA).
I am thrilled to tell you that "Welcome to Las Vegas" won the Intermediate Award at the Northern Zone show and then, along with "My Ride" and "Summer Sweetness", was juried into the Alberta Wide Show. "Welcome to Las Vegas" won the Jean Stephenson Award at the Alberta Wide Show!
