Arts Alberta was a one-hour arts
and culture magazine hosted by now Senator Tommy Banks, and ran daily on
CKUA for almost a decade. During that time, virtually everyone who was
anyone in the arts and culture community in Alberta and Canada was
featured and/or interviewed. Everyone from Juno Award winning jazz
saxophonist, P.J. Perry, to emerging (at the time) authors and playwrights
such as Brad Fraser. Dancers to film makers, musicians to painters;
artists from all disciplines passed through Arts Alberta. In the process,
they created a record and a legacy of thoughts, ideas, opinions and
insights reflecting Alberta and Canada's arts and cultural milieu during
the 1980s and early 1990s. Digitizing and cataloguing these materials
online has now made the program accessible to current and future
generations of Albertans and Canadians.
