Send us Fan MailArt doesn’t belong only in big cities, private collections, or intimidating white-walled galleries. We sit down with Genevieve, an artist and curator with Trex Space in Medicine Hat, to talk about what it takes to make visual art accessible across Alberta, and why a free, welcoming space can change how a community sees itself.We dig into the Trex travelling exhibition programme and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts collection, including how curated exhibitions are packed into crates and shipped to libraries, schools, senior centres, and community spaces for month-long bookings. If you’ve ever wondered why you rarely see professional Alberta art outside major centres, this conversation lays out a practical model that brings the work to people where they already are.We also go behind the scenes on the realities of building a career in the arts in Canada: grants, the learning curve of curatorial work, COVID-era Zoom studio visits, and the admin that nobody posts about. Genevieve explains CARFAC minimum fees and why artist pay matters, plus the surprisingly doable ways to start curating, from volunteering to self-organizing shows with artists you know.If you care about Canadian art, Alberta artists, or creative community building in Medicine Hat and beyond, press play, then subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showMake sure to follow our instagram @making.your.impact and also check out our facebook page!
