Remember Lynol Lui? He shot this great photoset of Brooke Kreeft, Lethbridge’s newest top model of the “Look of Live Cosmo” contest. Nice work to everyone!

Lethbridge Arts Days begins today
My secret source from the Allied Arts Council writes:
From Friday, September 30 to Sunday, October 2, downtown Lethbridge will be alive with the arts! Lethbridge Arts Days 2011 is one of many events occurring throughout the province during Alberta Arts Days 2011. The event is being coordinated by the Allied Arts Council in partnership with over 150 arts organizations and artists showcasing a diverse cross section of what Lethbridge’s artists have to offer including music, dance, photography, sculpture painting, performance art, and much more including live demonstrations.
The 8th annual ArtWalk runs Friday and Saturday from 10:00am- 5:00pm. Everyone is invited to join other Art-Walkers for this laid back, self-guided tour of art in downtown Lethbridge. Downtown businesses and galleries will open their doors to host an eclectic mix of art displays and demonstrations. Running concurrently with ArtWalk, an Artisan Market will be running at The Gate.
On Friday at 10:00am, the latest addition to the City of Lethbridge Public Art Collection will be unveiled at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. On Saturday morning from 10 – 11:30am, a public art tour begins at City hall and winds through downtown highlighting several public art pieces in downtown Lethbridge. ArtsFest, a showcase of local performing artists runs Friday & Saturday night in Galt Gardens starting at 5:00pm. Local musicians, dancers and performers will delight crowds until 10:00pm. Food and beverage vendors as well as a beer garden will be on site.
From 1:00 – 5:00pm on Sunday, the Southern Alberta Art Gallery presents SAAG Family Fun Day - a carnival of entertainment, with street performers roaming the gallery and Galt Gardens, drop-in family art activities in the TD Creativity Center and Loose Moose Theatre Company presenting their fast paced Impro Show.

Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival
My best friend Martin Warszawski has a piece in Calgary’s only animation festival, “Animated City!”
GIRAF Animation Festival is pleased to announce a brand new project literally animating the streets of Calgary! Animated City is a two part initiative: a series of large-scale projections on the sides of buildings in downtown Calgary, and a collection of rear projections in the windows of cool community businesses along 17th avenue and in Kensington. Hitting the streets in early November, Animated City promises a series of psychedelic, experimental and mind-blowing animations, with many made by local animators.
He’s an incredible artist, talented as he is tall, and his animation will be projected at the Jubilee Auditorium, North Wall, November 5th from 7PM to midnight.
The Word on The Street
I took in a bit of “The Word on the Street” festival this afternoon. The streets around the Lethbridge Public Library were closed off for presenters, booths and FOOD. I ate a hot dog.
Sunday, September 25, 2011 marks the day that Lethbridge joins Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax, Kitchener and Saskatoon in hosting the national Word On The Street Festival and celebration of literacy.
Hosted by the Lethbridge Public Library, the Lethbridge festival is designed to be a playful, all-ages, spill-out-into-the-street community event with something for everyone to see, hear, do, and of course, eat!

Good Medicine
My friend Stuart Mueller wrote in to give a heads up about the latest gallery opening being held at Mueller Art Photography:
The public is invited to attend the opening and sale of recent paintings by George Kush.
George Kush paints deeply researched views of this areas’ not too distant past. Historically accurate and skillfully painted, this is beautiful and important work. The opening is this Saturday 7-10 pm. As always – live music, refreshments and the artist in attendance. Better yet, every painting the exhibition is for sale.
Please call Stuart at the gallery for further information. 403.328.8170

Awesome video short shot in Lethbridge!
No trespassing!
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to practice some of my (amateur) photo skillz. My stylish friends Jessica and Brett hopped the fence with me to get these shots in front of the High Level Bridge. I though I’d share them with all my internet stalker friends.
Small city, big style
Miss Megan, who (I believe) is the daughter of Lethbridge photographer Jim McNally, has a cool Lethbridge blog all about about style. Besides showing off her lust for fashion, she’s also the subject of a lot of cool photoshoots, like this one (nice backdrop):
Check out her blog or Facebook page for more stuff.
IGA SMASH
Jaime Vedres has a few photographs chronicling the teardown of the downtown IGA supermarket.
I used to shop here with my family as a youth.
