Art

[Crazy4Calgary]

I'll be the first to admit Calgary has ignored the arts/culture scene in the past...but again thats the past! I've been quite blown away by all the major culture/art announcements & events we've had this year...From simple pieces like the Upside Down Church, The Arriva Scribble, the yet to be announced piece at the Bow and even those hiddeous flags on the Centre Street bridge...Lets also not forget the HUGE events like Virgin Fest, Sled Island, CIFF etc and also the fact we have a bid in for the National Portrait Gallery... I think the problem here is people figure this should just happen overnight but it won't! I also think its quite pathetic for people from other cities to come into our Calgary forum and trash our scene...They have no real taste as to what Calgary offers and they cannot witness firsthand the changes that are happening in the city. Why does everything have to be a effin' competion on here??
