Alberta’s second Artist in Residence and Arts Ambassador was Joal Kamps, a musician and co-member of Flint & Feather. During his term, Joal performed a free online concert, Joal Kamps – Backstage and Up Close, filmed at the Southern Jubilee Auditorium.

Joal’s final project for his residency, 'Wild Rose,' premiered during Month of the Artist at an Alberta Culture Days event at the Polaris Centre for the Performing Arts in September 2021. 'Wild Rose' explores the personification of Alberta as women and incorporates other art forms, including visual arts and dance, into the performance.
