Alberta University of the Arts
Alberta University of the Arts is a community of thinkers, shapers, makers and risk takers. We are students, faculty, staff and alumni rich in diversity of culture and thought, challenged to fearlessly explore what moves us, drives us and implores us to see the world differently.
In 2026, Alberta University of the Arts (AUArts) will celebrate 100 years of shaping Alberta’s creative landscape. AUArts has an alumni community of more than 14,000 people who have attended this institution, from when it was known as the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art (1926-1960), to Alberta College of Art (1960-1995), to Alberta College of Art and Design (1995-2019), and now Alberta University of the Arts (2019-present).
