(And for those who question, or need to advocate, the legitimacy of photography as art, I will leave this with you to read at your leisure 👉🏼 https://birdsandbackroads.com/blog/the-art-vs-photography-debate-where-does-one-end-and-the-other-begin)

It's today!!! 😄 Yes, you can RSVP at the door--tickets are pay-what-you-will. Stop by if you're in #YEG and you're into the #art scene 🎨 📷 See you there!
I'm going to be part of an upcoming #art show! The Public Display Agency is showcasing artists in Obsidian, “a curated art experience … that blends design, dialogue, and discovery. This one-night showcase unites visual artists, designers, and makers in an immersive, gallery-style setting.” The event is RSVP, and is pay-what-you-want, to keep it accessible for participants, while still supporting artists. Check it out!
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14 - I try to stretch my neurons every now and then, setting down the camera and picking up a pencil or brush. My skill with drawing is definitely at the beginner level, but I feel it's important to do every now and then: aside from the technical aspects it helps me focus on--like texture, contrast, line, shape--it reminds me that my art doesn't always need to look like a photograph (that's what photography is for).
Doing some #HolidayShopping? Stop by Le Marché Bohème at Bonnie Doon until 5pm, and #SupportLocalArtists this holiday season!
