Just a quick heads up that AAC Works will be closed for the long weekend so our team can spend some time with family and friends, make art, and enjoy the last little bit of summer! 🌻

We look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday! ☺️

✨ Let’s take a look at our 2026 Arts Days mural! ✨

Every September, AAC Works invites a local artist to transform our front window into a larger-than-life artwork - and this year we’re excited to feature Candace “Áísínai’pi” Gladue (Bullchild)! 🎨🖌

About the Artist

Candace “Áísínai’pi” Gladue (Bullchild) is a Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) artist, storyteller, and community advocate from Treaty 7 Territory Lethbridge, Alberta. Her work is rooted in the resurgence of Indigenous knowledge, language, and identity. Drawing from her lived experiences on Treaty 7 territory and the ancestral teachings of Niitsitapi people, she uses visual art, public speaking, and community engagement as acts of reclamation and resistance. Her practice weaves together traditional Blackfoot symbolism, contemporary issues, and grassroots activism to honour the stories of her ancestors and empower future generations.

Meet us at Casa tonight, at 5pm to join the Downtown Lens Artist Tour, and hear a bit more about our mural from the artist herself!

September & October Featured Artist: ✨Leila Armstrong✨

We’re excited to feature Leila Armstrong, a Lethbridge-based artist working across a range of mediums, including printmaking, illustration, performance, collage and sculpture.

Leila recently completed her PhD in Evolution and Behaviour at the University of Lethbridge—as part of her PhD project she produced a body of work collectively titled Backyard Wilderness, which explores our relationship with urban wildlife and argues for coexistence. This project involved two solo exhibitions, a small project-space exhibition, six billboards, three vinyl wrapped electrical boxes, three residencies, and a booklet of cartoons.

Currently, our shop carries a variety of Leila’s print and collage works, in addition to wearable and functional items that feature her beloved wildlife illustrations. 🦝
