MessAGes

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Lethbridge Arts Days 2014. Lethbridge is home to a unique group of talented artists, and Arts Days provides abundant opportunities to appreciate the diversity of their work.

The Arts have been identified as one of the vital core components that will shape our communityʼs future. Casa, our downtown Community Arts Centre is a tangible example of the Cityʼs commitment to the Arts and serves as a cornerstone, reminding us how much a dynamic arts community enriches the quality of life in our City and the surrounding area.

Lethbridge Arts Days is one of many arts celebrations taking place around the province as part of Alberta Culture Days. The Allied Arts Council has planned a wide array of Arts Days activities for residents and visitors to experience including live theatre, the 11th Annual Art Walk, street performers, family arts activities and much, much more. All of these events and activities showcase the diversity of Lethbridgeʼs art community.

MAYOR

I would like to thank the Allied Arts Council and the other dedicated volunteers for their efforts in bringing Arts Days to our community. Your efforts help make Lethbridge the culturally rich city that it is.

Best wishes for a successful event !

Chris Spearman Mayor, City of Lethbridge

On behalf of the Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge I am very pleased to welcome you to Lethbridge Arts Days 2014. We are happy to be showcasing the incredible and diverse talent of our Lethbridge arts community once again!

This year, we celebrate the 11th anniversary of ArtWalk. This event has grown exponentially with over 40 venues comprised of arts facilities, businesses, community facilities and even empty storefronts! Over the years, weʻve worked in cooperation with many event partners to make this event a success.

We have also added many musical, theatrical, literary, dance and new media elements to Arts Days, making it truly multi-disciplinary.
