Home > Exhibitions > Lougheed House
Since January 2010 the ASA has been given the opportunity to
provide ongoing visual arts programming in the ASA Gallery at
Lougheed House in the ballroom of the historic sandstone
home. The five to six exhibits per year are group shows
providing public exposure for many Alberta artists. In
addition to the exhibitions the ASA provides artist talks,
workshops and special events programming year round as well as for
Arts Days. The ASA also uses the gallery as a meeting space
and holds events and exhibitions in conjunction with Lougheed House
Conservation Society as a partner.
Built in 1891 and originally known as Beaulieu, the French for
beautiful place, Lougheed House is now a
National Historic Site located in the Beltline district of Calgary,
Alberta.
Lougheed House is operated by Lougheed House Conservation Society,
an independent, non-profit society, devoted to the restoration and
public enjoyment of the historic House and its Gardens. Today
thousands of visitors from around the world come to take a historic
tour of the building, to enjoy lunch or brunch in The Restaurant,
and to find the perfect gift in Treasures Gift Shop. The society
also runs a variety of School programs, and the house is available
to hire for private events such as weddings and Christmas
parties.
