Drumheller visitors and residents wait no longer. The new visual arts gallery is now open in Drumheller’s downtown core. The Community ART Centre and GALLERY is located beside Novel-T’s on 3rd Avenue in Drumheller. President of the Canadian Badlands Artist Association (CBAA) Dave Wigmore said, “The gallery opened July 1 - Canada Day. Admission to the gallery is free of charge and offers a wide range of mediums.” He added, “We will also be offering many programs to the community and our youth for a nominal fee.” Wigmore said, “During the gallery’s transition, ATCO was very supportive. They supplied their building for the artists to display their work up to the time when we moved into our new location.” Wigmore said, “In our new building, Peter Rubingh owner/operator of Home Hardware generously donated materials for the renovations of our new site. That was greatly appreciated.”
