Today's moodling is a quick one... this weekend, at the Cosmopolitan Music Society (8426 Gateway Boulevard), Rachel Notley is hosting the fourth annual Art From The Unknown event. Rachel, who is a local Member of the Legislative Assembly, offers free gallery space to people who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to show their work. Some of our L'Arche members have been busy preparing for this show, and will be on hand to meet art connoisseurs.
Some of my family attended last year, and I picked up this lovely abstract titled A Walk in the Woods, painted by one of my L'Arche friends, which makes it extra special. If abstract isn't your style, the art at the show covers the gamut, and prices are reasonable. If you're looking for a gift or something to grace your walls, check it out! And say hello to the artists. They have a lot of interesting stories to tell about their work... it's definitely worth the trip, if only to encourage others in their passion for creating art!
