Old Strathcona, Edmonton’s beloved historic district, has recently undergone a remarkable transformation, adding a splash of color and comfort to its bustling streets. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Old Strathcona Business Association (OSBA) and funding support from PrairiesCan, the completion of a two-year placemaking project has brought about the installation of over 50 pieces of vibrant street furniture, including five inviting parklets, across the district. These parklets, nestled along Whyte Avenue and 81st Avenue in West Ritchie, offer a fresh perspective on outdoor leisure and community gathering spaces.

The Art Gallery of Alberta commissioned Canadian artist Damian Moppett to create an installation for long-term display in the AGA Atrium. This work is intended to be a scaled-up sketch that occupies the space in the AGA's atrium as if it was drawn in the air. Shapes and lines are fabricated out of cut aluminum plate, which have been arranged and painted to recreate a 'fast' artistic abstract drawing. Moppett's recent large-scale public sculptures have all been centered around the idea of making a relatively 'quick' drawing or painting into a large three-dimensional sculpture while still trying to convey the immediate graphic simplicity of the original drawing or painting. This work will maintain the qualities of a sketch with drawing materials and blow them up to architectural or larger-than-life scale.

In Chinese culture, the dragon is a mythical shapeshifter whose most common form is a composite of various animals. As a revered protector that remains obscured from human sight, the legend of the dragon is rooted in the sound and rain of thunderstorms and other weather events. Using select objects from the Mactaggart Art Collection, Echoes of Thunder: Unveiling the Mythical Chinese Dragon aims to illustrate the origin of the Chinese dragon and its importance and significance in Chinese culture.
Available for viewing on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
For the uninitiated, Edmonton offers some of best pub and brew experiences in all of Western Canada. Yes, we are not known for being Celtic Warriors with a love of rugby and clover leaves, but we know our beer and how to ring in St. Patty’s Day. As such, our publisher shared his thoughts on five great places for a pint, this year.
