For over 15 years, ArtWalk St. Albert has coloured the core of downtown St. Albert with ArtWalk venues displaying exceptional artworks. On the first Thursday evening of each month May-September, Perron District transforms into a vibrant studio and gallery—a place to enjoy, view and buy local art to suit all tastes and budgets. ArtWalk is free for both visitors and participating artists. Many venues offer refreshments and host special events.
ArtWalk St. Albert is looking to build a volunteer committee to help plan and execute the 2019 season with guidance from the ArtWalk executive committee. All volunteers will report to Pam Gendron, ArtWalk executive committee representative, with assistance from Emily Baker, volunteer coordinator for Art Gallery of St. Albert.

Volunteers are welcome to work on their projects at AGSA most Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. The following positions are available and can be modified to suit your special skills.
