Lacombe Encore Art Show & Sale
It’s official~ The Lacombe Art Guild will be in the 2026 Lacombe Encore Art Show & Sale, coming up this April 17th and 18th of 2026.
What’s that mean for members? It’s time to prep!
Take use of our Open Studio Times:
April 7th - Open Studio Time | 6:30pm - 9pm
April 14th - Open Studio Time | 6:30pm - 9pm
Should you need bookmarks laminated during these times, we will have one for members to use! We will also have some mylar sleeves for ready to go cards to be packaged in, and small 2” x 6” sleeves for bookmarks. We will also have LAG label cards on hand for those needing to get more to prep for hanging works, and small stickers for labelling the little items with your name, email, and price.
Members: No commission fee is taken from LAG Members works sold during this show!

Please ensure you come with enough time to fill out your cards and sign in your works for placement in our booth, as the show starts at 1pm. :)
Centennial Hall will be locked after hours and the building is fully alarmed, so your work will be secure. Once you’ve unloaded your vehicle, we kindly ask that you move it to either the North or East side of the parking lot so the main spots remain available for visitors.

Pickup time and packing up after the show ends on Saturday April 18th: Please do not begin packing your items or begin teardown of our LAG booth until 5pm, when the show ends.
This year, we will be encouraging our members to bring items for the following:
Gridwall Hanging System:
Hanging works (24” and under are recommended)
If you have extra works, we can tuck them in behind and use to fill if we go through items and need to replace
Make sure you have a LAG card prepped with the following items:
Details: Artist Name, Medium, Phone Number, Price
If you don’t have any blank LAG cards, we will have more on hand during check in to fill out
Check in your work when you drop off
Tabletop Items:
Please make sure on these small items you have a name, email address, and price label on the back of these.
Bookmarks (5 to 10 are welcome)
Postcards (5 to 10 are welcome)
Cards (5 to 10 are welcome)
There will be gridwall space to hang paintings and canvases, and tabletop space for the above items. We will have a stand for bookmarks, and a stand for cards. Please ensure your work is ready to hang, with the proper wire attachments. This is to hang off of hooks on gridwall (in the same fashion as when we hang works during the Under $100 Art Market).
You will need to check in your works, and check them back out afterwards. We will have the same spot as prior years, a double booth corner spot.
Be sure to check out the student art competition in the main foyer of the LMC. There are some incredible student artists whose work is exceptional.
The Lacombe Trade Show will also be happening the same weekend at the Gary Moe Auto Group Sportsplex.
Friday, April 17, 2026 → 2PM to 8PM
Saturday, April 18, 2026 → 10AM to 4PM
