The South Calgary Artist Network is changing our name! For clarity and to connect with all the exciting suburban arts opportunities in Calgary, our name is now the Suburban Calgary Artist Network (SCAN).
Here is how we have grown so far....
1. At least once a month for 10 months of the year (Sept - June) we will have a chance to meet up at an arts venue (any place that in some way supports the arts and is located in a suburb of Calgary). We will take the July and August off, but will still post info we hear about suburban happenings etc. when possible.
2. The date and time of the meet up will vary dependant on the venue we are picking to visit. This will allow us to accommodate the schedules of different venues and their special events.
3. We are happy to post and share information about venues/happenings and events in all suburbs as we hear about them, or you tell us about them. You are welcome to comment on the blog and make suggestions of great events/happenings/venues in the suburbs to check out.
4. The format is casual, family friendly when ever possible, and is intended as an opportunity for artists and art enthusiasts of all disciplines, abilities, and ages to meet up for friendship, support, fun and learning. Sometimes venues will be free and sometimes there may be a charge by the venue. We will post any costs for venue or parking on the blog.
