Today was Art Day! WOOT! (my reaction to all the 'yeehawing' happening around us as we headed past Stampede and on into Calgree's Design District) We started with a visit to the Art Gallery of Calgary - free admission throughout Stampede - then made our way to QuickDraw Animation Society where I purchased a year's membership for TwinB. She is sitting in front of an antiquated piece of equipment with great provenance as it was this very camera thatwas used to record the animated short "The Cat Came Back" . (very big in animation circles)
Following this we headed west to discover where the Arrata Opera Centre was located and spent at least 2 hours visiting various art galleries where everyone was oh so happy to see us on this art-loving forsaken day. Alas - by the time we found Arrata the art fair was over for now...however we know where it can be found now so that task can be ticked off the list.
Before coming home we slipped in to Red Lobster for my first meal ever at that fine establishment. Sublime prawns and a superb waiter rounded off our day nicely!
