Elaine Cameron-Weir's practice explores the systems humans use to navigate the unknown, including science, religion, governance, and creative fields. Her sculptures transform objects from scientific, medical, military, and spiritual contexts into reliquary-like forms that symbolize broader belief systems and power structures. By combining found materials with handcrafted ones—such as enamel, glass, metal, and leather—her installations often appear suspended, balanced by cables and architectural frameworks. These works incorporate transient elements such as heat, light, and scent, hinting at transformation and decay, while symmetrical shapes highlight dualities in perception and storytelling. Though open to multiple interpretations, her works suggest thresholds or portals between states of being.

Born in Red Deer, Alberta, in 1985, Cameron-Weir lives and works in New York. Recent solo exhibitions include Dressing for Windows (Exploded View) at SCAD Museum of Art (2022) and STAR CLUB REDEMPTION BOOTH at the Henry Art Gallery (2021). Her work has been featured in major group exhibitions including The Milk of Dreams at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022) and New Time: Art and Feminisms in the 21st Century at BAMPFA (2021).

Visitors will be responsible for finding their own transportation to RDMAG.

H is for Hawk – November 9 | 6:30pm

Philippa Lowthorpe
United Kingdom, Singapore, United States| 2025 | 119m | English | Clique Films | PG

Based on the critically acclaimed memoir, H Is for Hawk is a meditative and emotionally resonant film that traces one woman’s passage through grief and renewal. Following the sudden death of her father, respected academic Helen (Claire Foy, The Lady in the Van) withdraws from the familiar rhythms of life and turns instead to the ancient, exacting art of falconry. As she attempts to train a fierce and untamed goshawk, the film unfolds as a quiet dialogue between human vulnerability and the natural world’s indifference and beauty. Patient, immersive, and richly observed, H Is for Hawk reflects on loss, solitude, and the discipline required to live alongside pain without being consumed by it. The result is a contemplative cinematic experience that invites audiences into a space of reflection, stillness, and hard-won grace.

It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the hawk costars are all actual hawks with no CGI used. 🎥

Register online on our website, over the phone, or in person at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. Tickets are also available at the door the day of the movie at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage.

I Swear – November 23 | 6:30pm

Kirk Jones
United Kingdom| 2025 | 120m | English | Blue Fox Entertainment | 14A

I Swear is a poised, textured portrait of a life lived against expectation. Anchored by Robert Aramayo’s (Lilies Not For Me, Nocturnal Animals) nuanced turn, the film tracks John Davidson, a Scottish man shaped by the onset of severe Tourette’s syndrome in adolescence and the world’s uneasy gaze. Moving beyond biopic mechanics, the story unfolds through moments of dislocation, misfired intentions, and unexpected solidarity as John navigates family estrangement, social misunderstanding, and his own burgeoning voice. Set between the Border towns of the 1980s and later Glasgow, the film examines the porous border between perception and meaning, between restraint and impulse. With restraint and wry humanity, I Swear observes how identity, dignity, and connection are claimed amid disorder. Inspired by a true story.

Content advisory: Coarse language, sexual language

I Swear won Best Leading Actor from the BAFTA Film Awards in 2026! 🎥

Register online on our website, over the phone, or in person at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. Tickets are also available at the door the day of the movie at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage.

LIVING LAWNS is an upcoming free, web-based tool from the Alberta Native Bee Council intended to make it easy for residents and communities to convert conventional turf lawns into beautiful, functional native spaces.

Turfgrass covers a significant amount of our urban landscape and requires considerable resources to maintain. By replacing even a portion of a conventional lawn with native plants, homeowners can reduce maintenance needs and create valuable habitat for Alberta’s wild pollinators.

Knowing where to start can be challenging! Uncertainties around cost, what plants are suitable for a region, and how to maintain a garden are all concerns for new gardeners. That’s where LIVING LAWNS comes in.

The tool will guide users through the process of planning their own native garden and create a customized blueprint based on their location, space, preferences, and aesthetic goals. Plans will include regionally appropriate native plant recommendations, estimated costs for plants and materials, visual design concepts, step-by-step maintenance guidance, and information about the pollinators the garden can support.

The Alberta Native Bee Council's goal is to take some of the uncertainty out of lawn conversion and give Albertans practical tools to create native spaces that work for both people and pollinators.

Join us for this information session to learn more about Living Lawns, how the tool will work, why native gardens matter, and what you can expect as we bring the project to life.

Art Speaks is a learning series developed and delivered in partnership with the Red Deer Arts Council.

Photographing Your 3D Artworks: Essential Skills for Professional Digital Photo-Documentation

This presentation is for artists who want to develop skill in documenting their 3D artworks. By focusing on the basic principles and methods, Paul Leathers will assist you in developing the ability to see beyond the artwork and into the image. He will discuss setting up a photoshoot for use with a smartphone or digital point-and-shoot camera as well as various accessories and software that can be used to vastly improve image quality. 📷

“Photo-documentation is the last step in finishing an artwork; a necessary one that, in our increasingly busy schedules, is all too often neglected. The point here is to keep the process simple and inexpensive, …so that it gets done!”

Reel Movie Mondays is our independent film series that screens as part of TIFF Film Circuit, screening on select Monday evenings (6:30 pm) at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage. 🎞️

Mile End Kicks – January 11 | 6:30pm

Chandler Levack
Canada| 2025 | 111m | English | Elevation Pictures | 14A

Chandler Levack’s anticipated follow-up to her directorial debut, I Like Movies (TIFF ’22), stars Barbie Ferreira as Grace Pine, a driven though easily distracted 23-year-old music critic. She leaves her parents’ home for a shared apartment in Montréal to devote herself to a book about Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill for the 33 1/3 series. Instead, she’s swept into the local scene, juggling loft parties, creative ambitions, and a messy romance involving two members of the same band, Bone Patrol. As she takes on work as their publicist, distractions mount and responsibilities pile up.

Through wine-fueled poetry readings and other ill-advised choices, Grace is in the trenches of self-discovery. Mistakes are made and rent is owed, but along the way Mile End Kicks gives audiences a new romantic comedy to fall in love with.

Content advisory: Sexual assault, sexual content, crude content, nudity, coarse language, drug use and mature themes

Mile End Kicks was nominated for seven awards at the Canada Screen Awards in 2026! 🎥

Register online on our website, over the phone, or in person at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. Tickets are also available at the door the day of the movie at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage.

Cost: $15/non-member | $10/member | $5/student

Join us for the 3rd Annual Pickleball Corporate Charity Challenge, presented by IG Private Wealth Management Giesbrecht & Associates. Taking place on Friday, January 22, 2026, at Westerner Park, this exciting event brings together local businesses and organizations for a day of connection, collaboration, and community impact. All proceeds support the Hockey Alberta Foundation and the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation.

No pickleball experience? No problem. The event is designed for players of all abilities, making it an ideal introduction to one of Canada's fastest-growing sports. The focus is on participation, teamwork, and fun, not athletic expertise, so don't let a lack of experience hold you back!

The Pickleball Corporate Charity Challenge is a unique opportunity to invest in your workplace culture. Register a team and treat your staff to a rewarding team-building experience that encourages communication, camaraderie, and healthy competition while supporting two deserving charities.

Sponsors and participants will enjoy a day of pickleball, lunch, player gifts, and valuable networking opportunities with business leaders from across Central Alberta.

The festivities kick off with the Pre-Event Party at Bo's Bar & Stage on Thursday, January 21, 2026, followed by tournament play at Westerner Park on January 22, 2026.
