Opening Weekend
Glenbow celebrates new shows with launch party and sleepover
- Location: Glenbow 130 9th Ave. SE
Celebrate an exciting new season of exhibitions at Glenbow with a weekend of art parties, talks and sleepovers.
This week sees the opening of three exhibitions—1920s Modernism in Montreal: The Beaver Hall Group, Rough Country: The Strangely Familiar in mid-20th Century Alberta Art and, in the One New Work series, M.N. Hutchinson: The Last Longest Day. Each one is well worth exploring but if you’re looking for something a little special, Glenbow has you covered with a great weekend of special programming.
