Just a quick heads up that AAC Works will be closed for the long weekend so our team can spend some time with family and friends, make art, and hopefully soak up as much garden time and sunshine as possible! 🏡

We’re so excited that warm-weather weekends are finally here, and we’ll always do our best to keep you posted whenever our doors will be closed.

We look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday! 💛

Take a closer look at some of the beautiful new work from our Featured Artist! ✨

Today we’re highlighting “Laugh” by Annae Jones — an acrylic painting on wood panel.

What do we love most about this piece? Annae’s signature use of round panels, paired with her soft, joyful colour palette, creates a piece that feels both playful and heartfelt. It would make such a lovely Mother’s Day gift! 💐

This is one of the smaller works in Annae’s Featured Artist collection, which also means it likely won’t stay on our walls for long.

Stop by and see it for yourself — we’re here until 4pm today! 🎨

We’ll be here from 11 AM – 4 PM every day leading up to Mother’s Day to help with all your gifting needs!

🎉 YOU’RE INVITED 🎉

That’s right… AAC Works is turning LUCKY NUMBER 7! ✨

On May 6, 2019, we opened our doors with a vision: to create a space that supports local artists through retail sales. We started with 15 incredible artists who believed in our vision — and seven amazing years later, we’re now proudly representing 85 local artists in-store! 🧡

Over the years, we’ve:
🎨 Supported 100+ local artists
👋 Welcomed some truly wonderful staff along the way
🏡 Built a creative community space that we’re incredibly proud of

Honestly, the years have flown by because we’ve been having SO much fun. And none of it would have been possible without all of you — our artists, shoppers, supporters, and community cheerleaders. Thank you for being part of the AAC Works story these past seven years!

So naturally… we have to throw a birthday party 🎂

Join us on Wednesday, May 6 for a little AAC Works birthday bash featuring:
🛍️ 10% OFF storewide
🎁 SWAG BAGS for the first 5 shoppers
🧁 Delicious cupcakes to celebrate together

Whether you’re one of our artists (past, present, or future!), a longtime supporter, an avid shopper, or just curious to see what AAC Works is all about for the very first time — we’d love to celebrate with you. ✨

Here’s to seven wonderful years, and many more to come. We can’t wait to celebrate with you! 🎉

✨ May & June Featured Artist: Annae Jones ✨

We’re excited to feature Annae Jones, a Lethbridge-based mixed media painter who creates stunning textural works using her feet. 🎨🖌

Working primarily in acrylic and water-soluble oil paints, Annae’s practice explores the beauty of nature through her exceptional use of texture. Her evolving body of work reflects a curiosity for experimentation and storytelling, often balancing light-hearted and humorous themes with deeper explorations of chaos, safety, control, and predictability.

As a person living with a disability, these themes take on heightened significance, acting as a way to process and articulate the layered experience of being differently abled. Her joyful approach to both art and life shines through in each piece.

Annae has been a proud member of the International Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) since 2021. The MFPA is an international organization that supports artists with disabilities that prevent them from using their hands to paint, providing opportunities for mentorship, financial support, and creative fulfillment. Through the organization and additional mentorship opportunities, Annae has continued to expand her artistic practice and refine her unique style.

Come explore this incredible selection of paintings in the shop - works that are sure to brighten your day and help us welcome the warmer days ahead! We can’t wait for you to experience this amazing new body of work. 🖼🌷
