Please note🤩 we are closing at 4:45pm Thursday for Teacher Appreciation Night!

We have Justine Vandergrift sharing her Sunday afternoon with us 4-5pm this week!!

It’s my birthday today. I’m not sharing this so you give birthday wishes. No sale is tied to it. It’s a day I actually always wish I could avoid 😂.
I’m telling you as want to share one of my birthday wishes with you.
A wish I have for this birthday year is that YOU will take time to support local arts. If you are in and around Cochrane - I challenge you to support our town. Help keep us vibrant. Help keep & make us a town known for having that vibrant “feeling”.
Whether you follow from afar or next door - visit the galleries, the bookstore, the public library in your town. Buy the tickets to indie music performances, support your locally produced art show, festival, concert, author events. We need each other.
Humans need humans and human created art. It’s what keeps our heart beat rich and full and open and connected. Be one of the people choosing to make it flourish in your community.
In Cochrane a few of our fave spots & things to help get you started on this supporting art-rich locally produced & curated events:
Found (🤭) for so many live events - all are my faves
Bow Valley Boot Stomp • Country Music Festival how lucky are we to have a freaking music festival in our backyard???
Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery our neighbour to the west
The Common Works our towns new creative hub and art gallery
Cochrane Public Library - the programming these guys put together 🤯
We all know this but … if we don’t support through sharing, buying the tickets, purchasing the books, investing in the art - it goes away.
🎂 = make the arts flourish in our community. Thanks for coming to my birthday TedTalk.
