The Southern Alberta Art Gallery has re-opened its doors to their old building with a new look.

“Our programming had exceeded our space,” says executive director Marilyn Smith.

Rooms originally intended for storage were turning into classrooms, there needed to be a change.

With the changes that were done a new classroom and library were built along with a resource centre and a multi-media/video-viewing gallery.

With all the changes the entire building was refurbished and incredible lighting, sound and projection equipment were added.

Together Ferrari Westwood Babits, Savill Group Architecture and locals RBG Construction dreamed up and constructed the project.

The SAAG reopened on Sept. 17 with a ribbon cutting that appropriately corresponded with Alberta Arts Days.
