SUMMARY:Beyond Age: The Fabulous Over Forty Movement
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Age: Fabulous Over 40\, Laurie MacBrown Photography\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 1 Gallery \nBeauty doesn’t cease to exist because of an arbitrary age\, and it’s time to shatter the stereotypes that say otherwise. \n“Fabulous Over Forty” is our bold statement to the world: Women in their 40s\, 50s\, 60s\, 70s\, are gorgeous and worthy of display in an art gallery. \nAgain this year\, we’ve chosen boudoir portraiture as our medium—a choice that defies expectations and celebrates the unique confidence and sensuality that come with age. Through this second annual series\, we offer a collection of portraits and stories that reveal the confident\, diverse beauty of women who are proudly ranging in age from 40 to 77. \nJoin us in embracing a vision of beauty that grows and evolves throughout life. “Fabulous Over Forty” isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a movement\, inviting everyone to see the strength and confidence that come with every year lived and every experience gained.

SUMMARY:Alison Frank's Love Aquatic
DESCRIPTION:cSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 2 Gallery\nApril 29-May 11\, 2024 \nLove Aquatic is an art exhibition featuring the painting\, drawing and photography by Alison Frank. It is the merger of her work as a visual artist and as a professional mermaid. Her paintings in this collection are inspired by the beauty experienced and captured through her freediving as a mermaid. The underwater world is a tranquil escape where time and daily pressures seem to dissolve. Water and the gravity free environment have many therapeutic healing benefits from fitness to pain relief. This solstice has been one component\, for her\, in managing a diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis in a holistic approach. To this underwater world\, she adds her surreal and playful mix of characters. Children gravitate to water and the joy of swimming. As adults\, we often lose our affinity for this magical place. She visually shares the ephemeral beauty of the way water reflects light in a way we can never experience above the surface. Through this exhibition\, she hopes to connect to viewers in a way that might inspire them to revisit the water and experience it’s many benefits. \nInstagram: @snowbunnymermaid

I received my first artistic award at age nine and I advocate for mental health through my art. In 2015\, I graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Fine Arts\, and immediately afterwards\, I founded LOUD (Let Optimism Unleash Dreams) Art Society\, a non-profit organization that supports the cultivation of positive mental health and well-being through creative practices. \nMuch of my artistic practice is informed by community connection through public art projects\, murals\, and workshops that key into art-making and mental health. Bright colours\, pattern-making\, found objects\, and newspaper are elements that I return to throughout my practice and are informed by my research on the metaphysical and its ties to humanity\, empathy\, and joy. \nAt the heart of my practice is a deep appreciation of the power of the arts to change lives for the better. My ongoing series of woven newspaper sculptures\, for example\, reframe materials that exacerbate mental health issues for many\, to speak to humanity’s ability to take uncertainty and pain and transform it slowly and intentionally into something beautiful and unexpected. \nDuring the 2023 Celebration for the Arts hosted by Mayor Gondek and Calgary Arts Development\, I was honoured to receive the Mamdani Arts Leadership Award. I was also awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee medal for 2023\, which recognizes exceptional contributions to Alberta’s communities. I have been awarded grant funding by Calgary Arts Development and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. As well as running LOUD Art Society\, working with CARFAC Alberta\, and teaching at the University of Calgary\, I recently completed an extended artist-in-residence program with the Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre. \nwww.taravahab.com \n_____________ \nAbout Sepidar: \nI have been creating art for as long as I can remember and I am working as a professional performance artist . I write my own play\, creat music\, and love singing. Currently I am completing my master’s in Counselling Psychology at the University of Calgary. \n  \n
