Vintage Rentals

Local Love Edmonton-2

Edmonton Print

  • My friend, Designer Justine Ma, just launched this cool 8×10 Edmonton print in her online shop. I ordered one with plans to put it in a pink frame. 🙂 Get in here or at The Royal Bison craft fair on May 10-12.

Local Love Edmonton-3

Art on the Block

  • Considered one of the ‘it’ events to be it – Art on the Block is coming up Friday, May 24. It’s an annual silent auction and gala–taking place at the Art Gallery of Alberta. Every ticket purchased and successful bid on artwork helps support AGA exhibitions, educational programming, and community outreach. Get yours here!

Local Love Edmonton-4

Family Art Time

  • You can pop into the AGA on Saturday mornings for Family Studio. Drop in to make some art with your kids between 10-11:30 a.m. All supplies included in your $15 fee. You’re encouraged to register early as space fills up quickly! Do so here. 

Local Love Edmonton-5

Creative Writing Camp

  • Camp for kids to love to write about anything! YouthWrite, a non-profit, charitable arts organization hosts the camps throughout the year in unique locations. More here. Here are a few upcoming options:

River Valley Experience Daycamp – for ages 8-11 at the Bennett Centre, Edmonton – July 1-5, 2019

  • This fun night out with friends, presented by Yeg Date! At the Cactus and Beers Workshop, you’ll put together a trio of mini cactuses and succulents in three plant pots you’ll design, all while working your way through a beer flight and some snacks. The event goes down Wednesday, May 8 at SYC Brewing. Tickets here.
