The Art Gallery of Alberta features Edmonton born Dean Drever’s "Pass the Hat". He has created a 16 ft. totem pole made of 10,686 pieces of paper. It is a documentation of the strength of the Haida First Nation while addressing its fragility due to colonial practices of oppression.

Parking at NESA

Alas, the snow has been cleared from our parking lot and we can finally see the lines again! Please ensure that when you are parking you are occupying only one space to ensure that other cars can fit in to a stall; our centre is becoming busier every week so we want to make as much space for others as possible. Thank you!
