Providing comprehensive coverage of the arts in Alberta is a massive undertaking. This site is the first phase of a multi-phase project and should be considered, at this point, as a representative selection of information, rather than comprehensive. Future phases will include additional information, commissioned pieces by renowned Alberta artists and further CKUA arts and culture programming.

As for now, journey with us to explore the development of Alberta's arts community over the past 100 years.     

The site features five main sections:
