Click here to see the ongoing blog from our two artists-in-residence.

For those that haven’t seen the blog that has been created by our Gushul artists, now is the best time to have a look back at their last 25 days. It’s been an awesome read, you can see the growth and development, as well as the ongoing spirit of collaboration these two have created. We at the trap\door couldn’t be more happy how this year’s residency has turned out.

A few of us were able to make it to the open house, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Strange how last year’s residency was in August, and the open house day was raining (snowing at the higher elevations); the end of September saw a temperature near 30 degrees above! During our visit, we were able to meet a few Crowsnest resident’s that dropped by, we have to thank Krisztina Wood from the CNP Art Gallery and Allied Arts Council for passing on the message to its member base, that was just great to see!

I’m really excited to see the unveiling of their finished piece, which will be from 7:30-10:00 pm on Thursday, September 29th at the Gushul Studio. They’ve worked really hard on this piece, and it will be amazing to see. For those that cannot make it to the Pass on Thursday, we are going to figure out a way of showing it during Arts Days at the Blueprint Gallery.

Anyway, it’s hard not to be totally stoked about how this residency worked out. We hope you can share in this either this Thursday or this weekend during Arts Days!
