Join us every Thursday evening for yycARTS CoLAB to learn about and participate in the process of artistic discovery in a casual, open environment. Next week's CoLAB takes place on First Thursday, April 5th.
yycARTS CoLAB is a free program that provides an opportunity for the public and artists of different disciplines to collaborate in real-time and be inspired to interact and explore in a welcoming and inclusive environment, embarking on a journey of artistic discovery.
yycARTS CoLAB evenings are curated by Vi An Diep, an active Calgary artist who will organize artists from across a wide variety of disciplines to share their craft with participants. Vi An acts as both facilitator and host, guiding artists and public participants through the dynamic creative process while welcoming the curiosity, expression and contribution of all who choose to join in.

May 18, 2012 Running until May 27th
By seeking to stimulate collective-memory through a short nostalgic narrative of the fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk, Calgary-based artist Erin Belanger showcases how a simplistic fable can operate on a deep level to reveal universal truths. Participants are encouraged to question what is truly of value to them by playfully bartering for some enchanted beans.
The Uses of Enchantment is a fun, interactive exhibition to remind people that magic does exist in the world. Through horticulture graffiti, Belanger investigates nostalgia, collections and the artificial as a means of access to collective-memory. Website: www.epcorcentre.org/ |
