Art Up Calgary is a visually enriched evening gala event featuring works-for-sale by local artists. Initiated in 2011, Art Up Calgary was designed as an event-platform on which to make introductions and foster connections between our local art appreciators and local fine artists.

Hosted in an iconic Calgary venue, Art Up Calgary has since become a revered annual non-profit event that serves to contribute to our arts community and see artists directly benefit from the sales of their works.

Brought to you by the Calgary Tower and Arts Astray, the next Art Up event is Thursday, NOVEMBER 19TH, 2015 from 5PM to 9PM. PLEASE NOTE: This year there will be an entrance fee for guests to attend which can be used as a coupon towards any art purchased. As always, with the added entertainment as well as food and beverage on offer, it is surely going to be a fun evening!

To purchase your tickets online, please click here. Early bird tickets are now available until November 6th for $10 (plus service fee). Limited tickets available, so get yours quickly!

I wanted to share my story about this painting. While not my very best work, the reaction it brought was worth a thousand words and something I will never forget. 

It is a painting of my little cousin, Lizzie, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 2. Yes, CANCER at 2 years old! At the ripe old age of 4 she had a recurrence and underwent more chemo and other surgeries and therapies. Lizzie is now 6 years old and healthy as can be!

The huge smile on her adorable face when I gave her the painting made my heart skip a beat. I love this brave little peanut to bits and so happy I could bring so much joy with something so simple as a painting.

So excited to have recently been juried into the Federation of Canadian Artists!! This opens up much more opportunity and exposure for my work. Could I be in better company?

Framing artwork can be a significant expense--sometimes nearly as costly as the art work itself. So it is important that you know the proper materials and procedures for framing, whether you will be doing the job yourself or taking it to a professional.

Frames are used to enhance artwork aesthetically, as well as offering protection from dirt, dust and handling. Not only are frames essential for the protection of the artwork, but it can add another pleasing dimension to it.

Looking for a framing professional in Calgary? I recommend Impact Picture Framing.
