CONGRATULATIONS to the ever-amazing Rocio Graham! This show is a must see for so many reasons I won’t list here - but I would love to chat with you about it at the Christine Klassen Gallery . It’s up for another 3 weeks but the weather is fine, so just pop by already!

Oops! Major tech issues at CKG so our live stream was, well, not LIVE! Video will be posted tomorrow! #withapologies #staytuned #willdobetternexttime #livestreamissues

Friday is coming up fast! Join Bryce Krynski (@instablk) and I for a 30 min live stream discussing what he’s been up to during the pandemic, why he’s just as interested in what is outside the frame as what’s in it, and what is behind his three photos printed on fabric that are currently up at CKG for @exposurephotofestival. #fridayplans #happyhour #livestream #artisttalk #yycart #yycphotography #yycphotographer #photographynow #conceptualphotography #canadianart

GALLERY PUG ALERT! Earl had to have his right eye removed due to a nasty ulcer that ruptured - but he’s doing great!

And he will insist on coming to the gallery tomorrow if you want a visit. He likes his routine! #mylittlebuddy #pugpirate #pugsofinstagram #pugstagram #15yearsold #fierceAF

Congrats Karrie! Her artwork is available through CKG! #yycart #yycartist #drawing #inkdrawing #charcoaldrawing #antiquephoto #antiqueportrait #portraiture / @hiwaistlowlife This week’s Work of the Week is "Revenant Portrait No. 5 Locked Doors" by Calgary artist Karrie Arthurs. About the Artist: Karrie Arthurs... Karrie Arthurs is a Calgary-based artist who works with paper and ink. A long-time tattoo artist, Karrie says her two artistic practices influence one anotheralmost melding together. For several years, she has sourced and collected a large amount of antique paper, envelopes, documents, portraits etc., some dating 150 years old or more. This is the material she incorporates into her art - drawing on it with ink, charcoal and chalk primarily.

Any tech savvy friends able to help me navigate live streaming to both Facebook and Instagram at the same time? Often I am hosting an artist remotely but sometimes we are both at the gallery. I have watched many YouTube videos but am still a little confused about the process and what apps I need in place to do this.

We know it’s snowy but come on out anyway. (But drive c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y) We had some cancellations tonight and Saturday for Chris Kuzmanovich : avalon so pop in for a and get out of the . #yycart #yycartist #fridayplans #saturdayplans #yycevents #yycnow #yyclife #yycliving #yycdesign
