I'm really starting to wonder if many folks in this forum have ever been out of the concrete jungle, at all.
Why should Banff be valid in a discussion on Calgary's arts scene in the first place? That's like trying to include arts development in Niagara Falls as part of the Toronto Arts Scene.

To people such as myself who make it out to Banff rarely, it's so distant that it's not even worth mentioning. Canmore is in the same boat.

Not to say that these places don't have their particular merits. Just saying that I think they have little to do with Calgary's own arts scene.
