MOTION GALLERY opening Tonight 7pm!!!!

I made it down to the Motion Gallery to put on some finishing touches on my display, like write ups and pricing. We didn't have at all enough ladder or I would have adjusted the lights too. Here is a sneak preview in case you can't make it down.


Here are a few views of the gallery from Tuesday night while we were starting to set up, it looks even better now!

Tune in to Arts Link on CJSW, Tuesday 8-9 to hear more about Motion Gallery by the man who got the ball rolling, Rob Dodds.

Here is one of his pieces, putting his metal working and welding skills to good creative use. Rob also has as an assortment of masks and other cool stuff for sale as well.

While you are visiting plug in a one of a kind hand made instruments and give it a strum. They are made out of cigar boxes and all have a unique sound. At only $290, its like stealing. I want one soooo bad, and I don't even play, these are awesome! They just look cool. I met the creator, Mark Kost, he works at SAIT, awesome guy. It turns out he recognized me, couldn't place how he knew me, but he new my face. Then he told me his daughter was Hannah Kost, the author of the recent article in The Calgary Journal. Small world!
