Sundown Social
Wednesday July 18th, 2018 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM LOCATION 634 McDougall Road, Calgary NE Under the 4th Ave Flyover NE Taking root in the community of Bridgeland under a flyover, this event is to reclaim an underutilized space. This social will grow something new from the beaten down space: an event that is wild and beautiful. We will transform this space with cut blossoms and wildflowers. In the setting sun art will be paired with music, food and friends. A feel good event for the whole family that can't be missed. I'll be demonstrating Letterpress on my new-to-me 5x8 Kelsey as well as having items for sale. For more information and a list of participating artists and musicians, click here. If you are coming - plan to bring a flower (real, fake or handmade) to add to the transformed space! |
