Alberta College of Art + Design is located in Calgary on the North Hill overlooking the Bow River and the downtown skyline, in a 245,000 square foot building that was designed in 1973 specifically as an art college.
ACAD's close proximity to downtown, via light rail transit, is a distinct advantage to students, providing them with easy access to Calgary's galleries, museums and cultural events.
ACAD is committed to a solid studio-based experience for students in fine art, design and new media - an experience balanced with relevant, complementary liberal studies and practical theory. The result is a rigorous studio program, which produces innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers, and visually talented students. ACAD creates a learning environment rich in character and extensive in quantity, quality and professional capability for its student body of artistic thinkers. ACAD studios are extremely spacious and classes are small, allowing for regular one-on-one interaction. Faculty and space-per-student ratios are among the best in the country. Within this environment, students receive the techniques, tools, intellectual stimulation and encouragement to discover and develop their own personal voice and passion. ACAD Mission: ACAD is a leading centre for education and research, and a catalyst for creative inquiry and cultural development. Building Culture. Creating Possibilities For more than 80 years, the college has educated some of Canada's most potent designers, artists and cultural producers. As one of only four degree-granting and freestanding institutions of art and design education in Canada, we understand that ours is a unique responsibility. ACAD has charted its course as an institution that makes a difference; an institution that supports and leads the development of culture and innovation in the broadest sense and provokes thought and action in the most optimistic directions. We cultivate debate, explore together and stir culture for ourselves and for our external community. Lance Carlson, President + CEO

Amazing Glass Blowing - Calgary, Alberta
A good beer needs a good beer glass, and after hearing about the new craft beer, Village Brewery, starting up in Calgary we met four artists who are hand crafting special beer mugs for the occasion. Phillip, Tim, Kai, and Ryan, are the artists of Bee Kingdom and they took us into the 'Hive' for an introduction to glass blowing and a bit of fun. It starts with rods of raw glass, throw them into a super hot furnace, add blow torches and clamps and metal bars, and with the right amount of talent and creativity you can finish up with some beautiful pieces of functional art. The GCAT team spent the morning watching these glass masters do their thing and we were very impressed. One wrong move or bad timing and it will almost immediately ruin the project you are working on, but as we could see that does not happen too often with these four lads. *** Kids, don't try this at home. *** Phillip, Tim, Kai, and Ryan are all graduates of the Alberta College of Art and Design and are part of the emerging art scene in Calgary. Along with other like minded young artists in Calgary they are inadvertently serving as pioneers on the emerging art scene in this fairly young city. Like the Village Brewery, the Bee Kingdom has a strong belief in their mandate: Growing Community. The artists of Bee Kingdom also make fine glass art using their unique skills and even have a showroom in Germany. They also run glass blowing sessions to the public so if you want to give glass blowing a try give them a <b>...</b>
