How Does Joining CgyArt Help You?
May 14, 2011 | | Leave a Comment
CgyArt.ca is a unique enterprise geared to connect a multitude of different artists from Calgary and area in a single online location. There are similar ventures online that attempt to draw similar artists into the same community but two things are missing: they generally aren't focused to one geographic area, and they focus on one single artistic expression.
Some painters will be over here, photographers on flickr, musicians on Myspace, and so on.
So why bother with joining? How does it benefit you? Read more

Market Collective December 12-13th
December 10, 2009 | | Leave a Comment
Although we're not affiliated with the folks at Market Collective, their purpose is quite similar to ours--offer a springboard for local artists to gather and showcase their talents and wares to our city. As such, we want to spread the word that another Market Collective (a quarterly gathering of artists) will take place this weekend in Kensington. Details in the flyer after the jump. Read more
