Hello! I wanted to give the community a brief update on what I have been up to since being brought on as the Arts Procurement Manager for the TPCA. The Holiday Party was a great success owed largely to the wonderful work of our volunteers, board members, and TPCA President. I was fortunate enough to help by bringing in local artists to facilitate a craft during the event and provide live music. This was generously supported by a successful grant application from the Ward Community Event Fund through the City of Calgary.
The bulk of my time has been spent researching and beginning the process of implementing visual arts projects, which the TPCA hopes to unveil this summer. We are excited to announce that we are in the process of applying for grants and hiring a professional artist to design and create a mural. The mural will live on the Southwest side of the hall (facing the playground). We welcome your input and hope you will take the time to fill out the short Google survey below.
Lastly, we hope to provide some other arts related events in the late winter which will help to get us all through those challenging cold days in March and April. Keep your eyes open for something soon!
Thank you all for the support and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to [email protected].
