What is living:room?
Each year, the graduating Art & Design class at Medicine Hat College organizes a student-run art gallery exhibition. During their final semester, students plan and execute the gallery and reception, while also creating a body of work to be displayed in two locations: the One-on-One Gallery in the Cultural Centre and the TREX Space downtown. This exhibition reflects their collective growth as artists after years of study, showcasing the highest level of skill and artistry they’ve achieved.
This year’s exhibition, titled living:room, explores the idea of making your presence felt in the world. It invites visitors into a cozy, intimate space—the graduating class’s “living room”—where they can experience the world through the eyes of the artists and designers.

Why did we pick living:room?
The concept of living:room is to create a third space where the visitor is comfortable viewing the work, but is also drawn into the creator’s space. The show embodies our group’s instinct to seek comfort as we navigate our academic journey.
Additionally, we have redefined the living room to reveal our inherent talent and process through visually striking and captivating works. In this exhibition, each artist presents their unique interpretation of how they live in this world while also highlighting the need for comfort in this time.
The One on One Gallery is an integral part of the Art & Design program at Medicine Hat College. This space is used as a teaching tool to enhance the student’s education by inviting professional artists and designers to showcase their work and bring contemporary and exciting ideas to our community.
