The City of St. Albert is pleased to announce that the first Public Art bus will be officially unveiled at this event. Last Spring, a call for artists was issued asking for applications for a public art project that would see an artist create work for the exterior of a bus in response to a chosen theme. Linda M. Wright, a Gwich’in artist originally from Inuvik, Northwest Territories who now resides in Edmonton, Alberta, was chosen by a selection committee for this project.

• When: Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
