Really? Summer is over?

Alas... it is that time of year again, the trees are changing colours, the days are colder and shorter, and most of us are back in class or the studio.  It is going to be a full fall, and here are some events worth taking in:


Alberta Art and Culture Days - For this year's events, the ceramics department at the college has put together a recreation of the tile exhibition that went on this summer for Red Deer's Centennial at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre.  The small show is presently set up in the Learning Gallery, which is located on the East side of campus in the Centre for Visual Art.  If you did not get a chance to see the show when it was at the Kerry Wood, here is your chance to see what the second year students put together as their Centennial Project.  Also, downtown at the City Centre Stage, Larry Reese has a display of his paintings in the Gallery.


(Look at the cool shadows!)

If you are free tonight at seven (Sept. 30th), there will be an artist talk given by Ronald Kostyniuk as part of the visiting artist lecture series at the College.  He is a sculptor and a faculty member at the University of Calgary.  This talk is free and open to the public, and will be held in the Margret Parsons Theatre at RDC.


This upcoming weekend is the annual 1000 Miles Apart Ceramics Conference!  This year the event is being hosted by ACAD and thus will take place in Calgary.  If you are interested it is open to the public and runs Thursday through Saturday.


And lastly Daniel Anhorn has a show going on at the Harris-Warke Gallery downtown.  Dan is one of our studio technicians at the College, and this is a great chance to see the kinds of work he creates.  His show, Brave New Worlds, Bold New Plans, will have its opening reception on Friday, October 4, from 6-8.
