RAIC Alberta @ The Smithsonian

May 2, 2006 on 9:02 pm | In events

The RAIC Alberta Chapter will be representing Alberta Architecture & Design at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC USA from the 30th of June to July 11 2006.

The Smithsonian Folklife Festival is an award winning professionally curated museum without walls devoted to grassroots cultural heritage and has been named the “top event in the USA”.

The festival presents an opportunity for people to learn about Alberta’s architectural excellence, history, heritage, culture and diversity first hand from Albertans who have dedicated their lives to celebrating, promoting and preserving it under the spotlight of US National and international Media coverage that will reach 50 million people including policy makers, dignitaries and visitors from all works of life.

The RAIC Alberta Chapter will be exhibiting various aspects of Alberta Architecture & design at the Festival. It is against this backdrop that we invite
