Coming into the fall as we transition into indoor activities, we’re excited to share the many places to explore here in the city with kids.

First up, ROYGBIV at Art Gallery of Alberta. This immersive exhibition is a tribute to color, with textures and a sense of play that every kid (okay, adults too) will enjoy. It’s a feast for the eyes, and the senses, and though not massive in scale - very impactful, fun and a cool thing to do with kids in Edmonton while exploring downtown.

ROYGBIV Exhibit at Art Gallery of Alberta

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet; this exhibition is a maximalist tribute to colour. The artists featured in ROYGBIV are interested in colour’s ability to alter mood, change behaviour, or simply transform space. Colours can conjure joy and playfulness, they can shape social spaces and can even be employed for social control. The projects in ROYGBIV reveal a relationship between colour, architectural form, the inner and outer spaces they can create and the resulting effects on the human body. 

Here’s what you should know before you go:

  • Admission for adults to the Art Gallery of Alberta is $14, children are free.

  • The subtle and not so subtle shifts and changes in colour across ROYGBIV are meant to not only engage you but to change you. (very cool)

  • The exhibit will be live until January 2, 2022.

  • All visitors ages 12 and older must provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR or rapid test within the last 72 hours to enter the Gallery.
