Studio Q, the Mann Art Gallery, and the Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District are partnering to introduce the Back Door Art Gallery in spring 2026!
This new initiative responds to requests for increased public art in the downtown core. Thanks to support from the City of Prince Albert's Public Art Stimulus Program and the P.A. Downtown Business Improvement District, images of artworks will be installed on the back doors of 10 businesses between River St. East and 10th St. East.
Artists of all skill levels, backgrounds, and who work in any visual media are invited to submit images of their artworks to be photographed and installed on the back doors. 10 artworks will be selected. Each selected artist/artwork will receive a $600 honorarium.
This project aims to support artists, increase accessibility to art, and add visual interest to downtown Prince Albert. We seek to share a variety of local artistic viewpoints, styles, and expressions to demonstrate the rich make-up of our broad community.
The Back Door Art Gallery expands ideas of where art is displayed and who can access it. We are excited to enliven urban spaces in areas that may otherwise be forgotten, and to share the unique artistic perspectives of our community.

About the Artist:
Laird Goulet is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores emotion,
memory, and transformation through abstract and modern forms. Drawing
from personal experience and intuitive process, Goulet creates layered
compositions that balance raw expression with refined structure. His practice
spans painting, mixed media, and wearable art, reflecting a belief that art
should be lived with—not simply observed.
Goulet’s work often investigates themes of resilience, loss, and identity, using
bold color relationships, gestural movement, and texture to evoke an
emotional response rather than a fixed narrative. Each piece invites the viewer
into a space of reflection, allowing meaning to emerge organically through
personal interpretation.
With a growing international audience, Goulet’s art is collected by those
seeking work that feels both deeply human and visually striking. His ongoing
practice continues to evolve, bridging fine art, design, and contemporary
culture while remaining rooted in authenticity and emotional truth.
