St. Albert Place

St. Albert Place

(5 reviews)

Great place to check out a book or watch a live performance at the Arden Theatre. Or pay any city…read morefees at the administration desk.

St. Albert Place is pretty awesome and houses soooooo much more than you could ever imagine! From…read morethe library to the business licensing department and the Heritage Museum, if it's city council/government related, you can probably find it here. I LOVE Love LOVE, did I mention that I LOVE that fact that this is the centre hub for the outdoor summer farmer's market?!? Indoor washrooms, clean, cool, air conditioned AND the kiddos and you can even take a break in the library if you need to rest your feet for a bit and cool off before venturing back out to Western Canada's largest outdoor farmer's market! My kiddos love the piano they put outside in the summer to play and the creative bronze statues in the front. Of course, don't forget the Sturgeon River promenade on the North and West side of the building which connects to our trails. And let's not forget the Arden theatre which is also housed here! Parking can be challenging at times but that pretty much goes the same in any city and face it, we are lucky in St. Albert that we don't have to pay to park "downtown." My family is probably in this building at least once a week if not more in the summer and we've never had an issue with cleanliness, seating, or ample washroom availability! When can you say that? We'll be seeing you soon St. Albert Place :-)

Talus Dome

Talus Dome

A tiny shiny mountain reminding me the most beautiful part of our province, the majestic Rocky…read moreMountains. A beckon of brilliance in a sometimes dreary city. It shines of hope, hope for the future of where our city is going. To be bold enough to state that it not just Chicago, New York or Barcelona that is deserving of kooky, large scale installation art works. No, we are too. Just because we are small, we are north, we are cold, and yes we are the City Of Champions where hockey is religion, does not mean that we should be void of art or the arts. I applaud those involved for having the balls (pun intended, ha ha) to have brought this piece to Edmonton and to place it in the River Valley, not downtown. For there is more to see and do in Edmonton then within a 24 block radius. On my daily drive down the Whytemud I look forward to seeing the big shiny balls. Yes they are funny, they make me smile, they brighten my day, every day. They start conversation, create conflict and debate. They make us interact verbally with each other on their merit... They, well they do exactly what art is supposed to do. So to me they are worth every penny and are deserving of 5 glorious stars.

I get that art can be controversial. I get that not every piece of art is for everyone…read more My beef with the Talus Dome isn't about the sculpture itself. Sure I think it's a bit silly looking, but whatever. My opinion doesn't determine what's good art and what's bad art. And I don't know what it represents or what, but I could put out some general guesses, like snow, or mountains or the juxtaposition of Edmonton's blue collar roots and art culture, or whatever. How I feel and what I think about this piece isn't the issue. My problem with the Talus Dome is the placement. Why would anyone think it is a smart move to place a piece of giant, and distracting public art on the Quesnell Bridge on one of the busiest roads in Edmonton. Texting, applying making, playing candy crush, aren't these forms of distracted driving? Well yes, but we can also add the Talus Dome, a giant piece of blinding art to this list. The silver balls on this sculpture are reflective, so depending on when you're driving and where you're looking you'll need to shield your eyes. It's distracting and it's dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. I wonder how many people have said, ''but officer I couldn't help it, that shiny silver thing was distracting me." The placement of the art isn't good for either drivers on the Whitemud or pedestrians in the River Valley. There isn't any kind of place where you can stop and look at this piece of art as a driver. You can't exactly stop on the Whitemud...unless it's rush hour (Thank You! I'm Here All Night). You can drive down to Fox Drive where you can see the full statue, but again not really a good place to stop unless you park under the overpass. And then if you do, you still need to cross Fox Drive to stand on an overpass embankment to look at some silver balls. What? Look I'm not okay with damaging public art, as someone did recently. It just means that the art will need to be repaired, at a cost to the taxpayers. But maybe that vandalism is a sign, not that we should get rid of public art, but that we should move it to a place where it can be enjoy by people, and not be distracting to drivers, which is dangerous for everyone. Public Art is for the people right? So let's move this sculpture to a place where it can be enjoyed by people without being dangerous. It's either that or we need to start putting outrageous and weird art sculptures on every overpass and bridge in Edmonton, so it won't just be the Whitemud and Quesnell Bridge with distracting art. Then it'll just be visitors who are distracted by shiny silver balls and my next proposal for badly placed public art in Edmonton; a giant statue of Wolverine on the Anthony Henday overpass at Gateway Boulevard.
