Dissonance represents the 2026 graduating class of the Art and Design Program at Medicine Hat College. The exhibition explores the embodiment of many different voices, thoughts and creative approaches that come together to shape our collective identity as emerging artists and designers. What may appear chaotic at first glance opens space for deeper interpretation of strength, beauty and unity in the presence of contrast.

Dissonance spans across two locations (the One on One Gallery in the Cultural Centre and the Gallery Foyer at the Esplanade). Each features different works on display. Both exhibition sites invite visitors to experience how contrast, tension and harmony can coexist within creative practice. Visit www.dissonance2026.com for more information.
