PARK

PROMOTING ARTISTS | REDEFINING KULTURE

PARK is a network organized by a group of young Calgarian artists to promote and support fellow young artists in the community. The city is growing, and we are excited to step up and take an active role in helping and shaping how culture will grow in urban Calgary.

From outdoor art sales to indoor fashion and art events, we're making PARK an active verb. The organization of our events is non-profit, with the opportunity for 100 percent of the profit of sale going to the independent artists taking part in the PARKSALE and PARKSHOW.

(Rezatron, Scare Jordan, 2009.) It seems zombies are all the rage right now. And I love them just as much as the next girl, especially when they’re Michael Jordan dunking a skull in vibrant watercolours and inking (seriously, check this guys work out- I’m talking zombie Kermit the Frog, zombie Marty McFly, zombie Forrest Gump). We love to see those creepy walking dead get mowed down, almost more than teen girls love vampires. But what’s up with the scare we get from the undead? Maybe because we the living are worried about the future. Whether it’s what you’re going to do with your life (I’m still working on that one) or what you’re going to do for dinner (uh, that too), making decisions can be daunting because you never know if it’s going to come back to get you (all hungry for your braaaaaaainsss.) But if you’re scared to take the chances, you pretty much risk becoming a zombie yourself. Every time you see a zombie killed, doesn’t it feels like the future is one step closer to being safe from some sort of apocalypse or maybe just your own personal drama? Ahhh, or maybe I’m reading too much into it… But, I say, in general: screw the zombies, and get yourself out there and slamdunk that skull, or decision, or whatever. You gotta live while you’re alive, because when you’re undead you’re pretty much preoccupied with only one thing.  At PARKSALE we’ve got all these cool young creatives taking chances and making risks to show what they’ve got to the city and now I’m all fired up. Fresh young BRRRAAAIINNNSSS- our city is full of them… and talent too.   Yum.
