I am inspired after reading the article "Machin" from Avenue Magazine. Alexis Kondra's will be displaying her sculpture in the "Little Gallery" in Bridgeland. Her work mimes her childhood memory while exploring the nature of memory and spatial relationships. A" Little Gallery???" I did not know these even existed! I want to make one for my students! Why have a "Little Gallery?" A "Little Gallery" aims to bridge the gap between street art, gallery art and public art. It would help local artists ( art students at Western Canada High School) reach a larger audience and make more art more accessible to the general public. It will also encourage pedestrian exploration of Calgary communities and promote locally owned businesses. Can you imagine how great it would be to have one out side of our art room door on 5A Street SW? My vision is for my students and I build a Little Gallery by the end of this year. Of course we will have to change the name... I was thinking the "Mini Museum!"
