The Southern Alberta Art Gallery Maansiksikaitsitapiitsinikssin is a leading contemporary public art gallery in Lethbridge. Over the course of 40 years, the gallery has evolved from a grassroots initiative to become a significant participant in the national dialogue on contemporary art.

The gallery is located on Treaty 7 territory. We honour and acknowledge the Siksikaitsitapii, or Blackfoot Confederacy, who have resided and cared for these lands since time immemorial. We recognize that these lands are also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III, and many other Indigenous peoples.

Reporting to the executive director and collaborating with the gallery team, the communications coordinator develops and implements all aspects of the gallery’s communications plan, including strategic marketing, media relations, and internal and external communications.

The communications coordinator’s primary objectives are to increase awareness of the gallery, promote exhibitions, public programs, and community engagement initiatives, attract visitors and patrons, drive membership, and support the gallery’s fundraising activities.
