[CUA] Art show: Ateliers of the Near Future

[Marian Dörk]

Anybody interested in miniature models of the better world to come? The current show by Mireille Perron and other local artists at Stride gallery mixes gardening with future work and play. I found it very inspiring and heart-warming. Check it out: it's free and will run until May 29th.

From the exhibition text:

"Gardening has a place in each of Perron’s ateliers, and our relationship to the natural world is a sub-theme that pulls the show together. Are there parallels between sustaining life in the arts in Calgary and gardening “under the arch”? Last year, 192 students graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design, hoping to make a living in the arts. What do they need to thrive? Gardening and artmaking have corresponding challenges in Calgary, and there may be shared strategies for survival."
