Calgary 2012 Sweet City Woman LipDub tomorrow at 9 am

I can't wait to see the Calgary 2012 Sweet City Woman LipDub! It comes out tomorrow at 9:00 am at this Youtube LInk.

Here is the link - try it 9 am tomorrow! Help it go viral!!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/Calgary2012cc?feature=mhee

The Sandhurst family was in section #4 under the fabulous leadership of Alice Nelson. You should see us quickly after 

the crowd turns right on to McLeod Trail near the beginning of the song at "Bon C'est Bon" lyrics as the camera turns to go north on the sidewalk on McLeod Trail.

Geoff crosses riding his unicycle in front of the camera in the distance.

If you see the roller derby gals swinging each other around, look to the right and we should be beside them. The camera zoomed by us really fast though on a golf cart - so the camera might have missed us.

Kierra is walking on blue globe, with boring me in red standing beside her waving.

Caelin is riding on three wheeled unicycle just behind or beside us us, but he thinks he might be hidden behind a tree.

It was an amazing day, and it was so exciting to be part of it. It took 4 takes and they picked number 3 as the best one. Its one continuous shot. What a sweet city of citizens celebrating to Sweet City Woman by the Stampeders, Calgary's very first international hit!

It was great fun to do this with Alice Nelson and crew and all the section four volunteers -  Literacy Alberta, The Roller Derby Girls, Cookie Monster and the Cookie, Cary and Jay from Calgary Circus and the fabulous individuals of section 4 - you rock!  So much fun!

Congratulations to Calgary 2012 and their amazing LipDub Team!

Suburban Calgary Artist Network

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.

------------------------

Our Next Meeting 

Our Next Planned Meeting - We look forward to seeing you at our next meet up  Sunday, September 30 (day one of two days)   at the WSKEO #100 at King Edward School Arts Hub Incubator  http://cspaceprojects.com/about  


The open house is free, the WKSEO is free, the fun is free, but I am not sure about parking.

Ideas on taking painting lessons

We were asked about ideas on where to take painting lessons.  Because it's not our area of expertise, we are writing down what we know and welcoming anyone to add comments with ideas of where to take lessons in Calgary.  Of course, if you know of a great place to travel to and take lessons, we would love to hear about that too.

I do receive Robert Genn's twice weekly letter, and although we have never met, and I am not a painter, I enjoy the wisdom in these emails and looking at all the links for workshops etc. offered by Robert Genn and others on the painters keys website. The link is below.
http://painterskeys.com/

My son enjoyed classes at Swinton's in the past. Swinton's has wonderful instructors for all ages and a there are workshops, classes and the Friday night demos with a glass of wine.  http://www.swintonsart.com/

The Calgary School of Art is within Cactus Art supplies. We don't know anyone that has attended, but we enjoy the artwork on display when we stop in.
http://www.calgaryschoolofart.ca/about-csa.html. 

The City of Calgary has many art programs  http://www.calgary.ca/CSPS/Recreation/Pages/Arts-and-culture/Home.aspx?redirect=/arts

Indefinate Arts http://www.indefinitearts.com/programs.php is a remarkable art centre in the community of Fairview for adults with developmental disabilities. There are also volunteering opportunities.

Both of our children take lessons with Jill Hobson. Excellent instruction and incredibly gifted teacher. http://www.jillhobson.ca/

Alberta College of Art / U of C /Mount Royal might have things of interest as well in continuing ed or taking credit courses.

My lunch is over, and time to go....so here is the start of a list - please do add on!

The tea and coffee usually get thrown out, so we are just having water provided at the next meeting - if you are a coffee or tea drinker - let me know and we will have it ready for you ;)
