About TREX Southeast
Albertan art for Albertans! The Travelling Exhibition Program (TREX) distributes
professionally curated visual art exhibitions to communities across Alberta. You can
also visit the TREX Southeast region’s physical location (for FREE) at TREX Space
in downtown Medicine Hat!

AFA TREX Mandate
Since the program’s introduction during Alberta’s 75th Anniversary Celebrations in
1980, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) has supported a provincial Travelling
Exhibition (TREX) program. The TREX program strives to ensure every Albertan is
provided with an opportunity to enjoy fully developed exhibitions in schools, libraries,
health care centers, and smaller rural institutions and galleries throughout the province.
The TREX program assists in making both the AFA’s extensive art collection and the work
of contemporary Alberta artists available to Albertans.
Four regional organizations now coordinate the program for the Foundation:
Art Gallery of Alberta - Northeast and North Central Alberta
The Art Gallery of Grand Prairie - Northwest Alberta
Alberta Society of Artists - Southwest Alberta
Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre - Southeast Alberta

AFA Mission and mandate
At the Alberta Foundation for the Arts we see an Alberta where a vibrant arts
community inspires creativity and innovation, embraced by all Albertans.
