The Inglewood Night Market: tonight, rain or shine!

8/14/2015

Tonight is the Inglewood Night Market, brought to you once again by that superior team of local creative types, find it. And - the weather forecast is stormy. Why does this seem to happen to us every time? I had to write this little comic strip about how ridiculous this is getting.

To see some photos of our volunteers (most of whom have braved the elements on numerous occasions to make this super cool event happen), take a look here. Don't let the pictures fool you. I chose the sunniest pictures to trick people into thinking that coming out to volunteer for us would be a warm walk in the park. In fact, it is a really great event with wonderful people, but let's just face it, you're going to get rained on, hailed on, swept away by a windstorm, or something like that, at least once. So why pretend otherwise? Hence this little comic strip so that folks will find out the real truth about volunteering at the Night Market.

If this tale of adventure whets your appetite for danger and excitement, feel free to show up early (say anytime starting around 3 PM) and lend a hand to the volunteers who are getting things set up. Chances are they may need extra bodies to keep the tents from blowing away. Chocolate is always good too. Or better yet, send them a note at [email protected] and check to see if you can help out. The more umbrellas, the merrier.

In case you're wondering, the market is still on - rain or shine! So be brave! Come out. We'll see you there!

By the way - I put an asterisk next to "derring-do" because I thought I'd write a little explanation at the bottom for folks who aren't familiar with that quaintest of terms. But I forgot, so those of you who don't know what derring-do means will just have to come down to the market and find out!

Behind the Scenes at the Inglewood Night Market

9/7/2014

Are you one of the many Calgarians who've been enjoying the wonderful Inglewood Night Market? Would you like to know who's behind this unique, creative event? Here's the story of a tiny volunteer-based team that has been working around the clock to build an event that promotes fun, culture, art, local shopping and inner-city vibrancy.

It's also a story about a lot of work. This is my call for help! Read on to find out what we have been doing... and to learn how you can help keep the Inglewood Night Market alive.

Here's a picture of our team (plus a few poets) back when we were getting started two years ago.

The Vibrant Village Society of Inglewood & Ramsay

Our very first meeting at the "Area" in Inglewood

Back in 2012, inspired by the fearless leadership of Inglewood resident Meg Van Rosendaal, a handful of neighbours from the inner-city Calgary communities of Inglewood and Ramsay started the non-profit "Vibrant Village Society of Inglewood & Ramsay," with the mission of bringing fun "pop-up" arts & culture events to our hoods. We called our pop-up series find it. I've written a bit about how it all got started in this blog post - check it out for more details!

By 2013, with the help of some great community partners and a few amazing arts grants, our team of five or six unpaid volunteers had put together some great events.

The Inglewood Night Markets

Andy!!!

In 2013, our team came up with the idea of a Night Market. It seemed pretty evident that Calgarians wanted something like this! With a very short time frame, and in the midst of the 2013 flood, our tiny team managed to pull together the necessary permits to close off Inglewood's 10th Street, find a bunch of vendors who were willing to take a chance on us, and promote our event around town.

We certainly had a lot of help from neighbours and local businesses. Our amazing event partner Andy of Inglewood's Gravity Cafe loaned us $1000 up front to help us get started. The results were more than we could have imagined. People poured in. Local merchants had record nights. It was fabulous!

Now it's 2014 and our second market season is almost finished. Our September market will be the best one yet - DJ Reggie Suave, JUST DANCE on a giant screen, the Chinook Country Line Dancers, pedicabs, food trucks, and... as part of the annual Beakerhead festival, we're hosting El Pulpo Mecanico... an enormous flaming robot octopus. You don't want to miss this!!!

(Details on our website, by the way... www.finditcalgary.ca)

But what has to happen to make the Night Markets happen? They don't just run themselves.

What We Do

Solita of ReWorks Upcycle Shop does our graphic design and makes our posters! Allison coordinates our volunteers. We're ALL volunteers, of course, but for a big event like the Night Market, we need a few more people to come out and help us get set up.

What kind of help do we need, you might ask?

Setting up tents: It takes six people to set up this tent! And there are only about six of us on the whole team. That means we need husbands, wives, children, friends and neighbours to come out and lend a hand. (And they do... and they are awesome!)

Stringing up lights: You need lights at a Night Market, and that means someone has to put them up. Here's Meg walking the walk - she doesn't just dream up creative artsy pop-up events, she also does more than her share of the heavy lifting!

Unloading supplies and putting up signs: We do that too. And this all has to happen on the afternoon of the market. Even if it's raining. So time is of the essence!

Coordinating vendors: Our vendors arrive on the afternoon of the market, and they appreciate having a team member there to direct them to the right spot, let them know where to park, and provide any other information they need. Our vendor coordinator David not only helps vendors on the spot, he also developed an online process which vendors can use to apply to participate in the market and get signed up. He is amazing!

And here's Greg, who's our link to the Inglewood BRZ.

Operating heavy machinery: This is a portable light tower that gets set up at each market to shine some light on the street. It has to be assembled and taken down at each market!!!

Decorating: Banners, chalk drawing, sandwich boards. Even if you're five years old, we'd be happy to have you come out and help us decorate!

Guarding the exits:
10th Street SE is barricaded off, and we make sure there's always someone watching each barricade to make sure no vehicles are trying to get through while the market's happening.

Manning the information tent: This job is always fun. So many nice folks show up to keep us company at the find it tent. This could be you!

The Perks: We have to take everything down at the end of the night, too. That can be hard work, after a long evening. But last time we did this, a Mexican mariachi band stuck around to play for us while we took down the tents and cleaned up the street! Is there anywhere else in Calgary where you could enjoy something like this? (If there is, please tell me about it!)

So, what can you do?

So, now that you know what we need, I know you'll want to send us a note right away to [email protected] and sign up to come lend a hand on Friday, September 12th. But don't stop there. I hope you might also want to help us make the market happen again in 2015 and beyond. We've had an overwhelmingly positive response to the event - Calgarians love it! And we'd love to keep it going past this year. But this volunteer in particular isn't sure she'll be able to keep this up. With a job and two little kids, I just don't have the time to contribute to our team (and I haven't actually even been doing a whole lot, beyond making the find it website, doing some promotions, and helping on the day of the market).

When we started find it, we were dreaming of doing all sorts of different cool artsy creative events. This summer, we've spent most of our time running the Night Market. We did it, and we loved doing it... but, at least on a volunteer basis, we can't keep doing this forever. Would you like to help? You would? Let us know! Come talk to us at the find it tent on Friday, at what we hope won't be the last Inglewood Night Market. We need you!

Winter

12/31/2013

0 Comments

I'd been thinking of making a Christmas card and posting it up here, but that didn't happen, as you can see. I didn't make any Christmas cards this year (although I've made quite a few in years gone by, and you can see some of them here). Christmas is already past, and the next four or five months of cold and snow are looming before us. So, instead, how about a few words on the subject of winter.

I recently read a blog post by Calgary man-about-town Richard White, on the subject of whether Calgarians embrace winter. I have to say I'm not a big fan of winter, but it's a fact of life in this part of the world. Hiding in your (hopefully well-insulated) home for a couple of months is one option (and I sometimes think contemporary suburban homes are being designed to accommodate exactly that - several months of isolating hibernation during which there's no need to actually leave your house! But I digress...). Go outside, everybody! If you're brave enough to venture out, there are a few nice things to be found.

For example. Only in Canada would it occur to anyone to put the patio chairs out next to a three-foot snowbank. Hooray for my neighbours at Caffe Rosso for showing great winter spirit and giving us a spot to sit in the sunshine in spite of the cold! Sure, we didn't last long, but we loved it for a few lovely vitamin-D-soaked minutes!

Now, if you're wondering whether Calgarians embrace winter, take a look at Chandelierville. It's the latest "pop-up" arts event dreamed up by the Vibrant Village Society of Inglewood & Ramsay, otherwise known as the "find it" team, and the folks who brought you the hugely popular Inglewood Night Markets this summer. I happen to be a member of this team, although this year I haven't been able to be as involved as I would have liked (I was too busy having a baby!).

Anyway, this year our team came up with the idea of inviting the residents of Inglewood and Ramsay to create do-it-yourself "chandeliers" with Christmas lights and hang them up outside their houses and/or places of work. We've had thirty entries and over fifty votes for our "OOH AAH People's Choice Award" for the top three chandeliers. (Voting ends at midnight on December 31st - don't wait! Vote now!)

But not only did we create a dazzling light display around our neighbourhoods, we created a dazzling display of community spirit, inspiring all sorts of folks to get creative and get together to brave the cold and tour "Chandelierville." Did I mention I don't like winter? But I strolled all around the hood with neighbours I'd never even met before, taking in the sights, and finished up with a hot chocolate at the amazing Ramsay rink!

Here are a few of the creations on display now in Ramsay and Inglewood! And take a look at the rest at www.finditcalgary.ca.

Now switch gears and head to Edmonton, where I've just enjoyed a delicious feast at RGE RD, a new local-food-themed restaurant that's the talk of the town.

Yes, it's about -20 degrees out here. Does that stop Edmontonians from going out? Heck no (as John D. Fitzgerald would say). The place was packed.
I really liked these sheepskin rugs. I mean, we all know it's freezing cold, so why pretend it's not? And the table shown here was up against the windows, which, as you may note, are covered by shades. The implication was clear: "the weather outside being frightful, why not just pull down the shades and focus on the food and cozy atmosphere!" Why not, indeed!

And speaking of embracing winter: I hear that RGE RD is planning a winter pop-up restaurant for 25 people on January 18th out at Nature's Green Acres, a farm near Viking. Furs, sleigh rides and amazing fresh food - details in this article from the Edmonton Journal.

We can't make winter go away, but we can enjoy some temporary respite. And in Edmonton, respite is pretty important. Just looking at these snowbanks makes me chilly. Somebody pull down the shades!

And now back to Calgary for a tried-and-true winter activity. It's a long way to the top of the Ramsay sledding hill, but the ride down is worth it. That's all for now - stay warm, everyone!

Find out about "find it"

7/7/2013

0 Comments

There's a new find it pop-up event happening soon: the Inglewood Night Market, on July 12th (this Friday!).

It will be followed by another market on Friday, August 9th and one more on Friday, September 13th.

So I thought it was time I wrote a bit about find it.

It all started back in November of 2011 when Calgary arts activist and all-around mover & shaker Meg Van Rosendaal invited residents of Inglewood and Ramsay to to talk about the potential for creative collaboration in our neighbourhoods. Meg could see that there was a wealth of creative talent in the two neighbouring hoods, and she felt that there was an opportunity to turn that into something more!

Meg also had her eye on the upcoming Calgary 2012 designation of the city as one of Canada's "Cultural Capitals" - a city that would be eligible for funding, promotion, and general celebration of the arts. How could we be part of that?

Here's a picture I took at that first meeting, hosted by the AREA in Inglewood - an awesome spot that we hope will be back in business soon!

A few of us crazy local folks - I mean, adventurous creative thinkers - came to the meeting, and then came to a few more. At the time, I was just starting to emerge from the round-the-clock sleepless life of a new parent, and just looking for something fun and not too ambitious that I could do in my own neighbourhood. Little did I know I'd be drawn into a wild world of community arts activity!

And we definitely had a lot of ideas.

Here's the first thing we did - well, after applying for (and receiving) a wonderful grant from Calgary 2012, by the way!

Out of our discussions we came up with a concept that we thought could accommodate many different artists, arts supporters, and neighbours in general: the idea of "pop-up" arts and culture events that could take place in our neighbourhoods on a year-round basis, surprising and delighting folks from around here, and bringing audiences from the rest of the city into our "vibrant village."

To do this all officially, we formed a non-profit society with the fancy name of the Vibrant Village Society of Inglewood & Ramsay. But the name we came up with for our pop-up series is a bit catchier: find it. So you can just think of us as the find it team.

In case you don't know what a "pop-up" is, it's a (usually) temporary installation or event that pops up unexpectedly in an everyday setting, with the intent of delighting, surprising and/or otherwise enriching the environment! (Well, I just made that definition up, but hopefully you get the idea.)

Cowtown Opera on the Hill

You can find out more about this event (and the other pop-ups in this post) on the find it website.

Here in Calgary, in case you don't know, there's a big festival called the Stampede, which (among other things) puts on a big fireworks display every night for ten nights running in July. And a lot of folks come and sit on the top of Scotsman's Hill in Ramsay (so named because of the thrifty-minded Scottish folks who apparently would sit up there to get a free view of the show) to watch the fireworks.

Well, we thought, there's a ready-made audience just sitting around waiting for a show to start! So we brought them a pre-fireworks pop-up last summer, as our first event. Performers from Cowtown Opera appeared to surprise and delight the folks on the hill!

By the way, have you been wondering who designed those fabulous red find it signs? And our logo?

Team member Solita Work of ReWorks Upcycle Shop in Inglewood. She's our graphic design master, among other things.

For example, she put together this poster for our next event, the New Street Spoken Word Safari.

The brainchild of local poet Roberta McDonald, this event consisted of a parade of poets performing custom-written pieces about one of Inglewood's most iconic streets. I have to confess, I am actually not usually a fan of this kind of thing. But this was awesome.

The New Street Spoken Word Safari

By now, something else was going on... the find it team was starting to feel like a real group! Some of didn't know each other at all, when this got off the ground. But we were starting to feel a bit like a little family... or at least, like a group of conspirators.

You're wondering who else is on the team, right? Here are a few more of us:

Darcy and Greg from Inglewood's DaDe Art & Design Lab - who I think just singlehandedly co-ordinated the whole neighbourhood's flood relief effort from their gallery home base; arts & culture fan Sharon Barrette, who happens to be (almost) my aunt; me; and a few others who I don't have pictures of, but I wish I did.

Food in Shorts: Full Moon Movie Night at the Ramsay Rink

What came next? Well, what else would you do if you had an empty outdoor covered rink, a giant screen, a perfect full moon night and a pair of local Oscar-nominated filmmakers? You'd do this, of course: curate a free short film fest for Calgarians to come out and watch - with instructions that they had to bring their own flashlights and lawn chairs. Live music, snacks, and an incredible lantern-lighting party topped off the night.

The 23rd Avenue Artwalk & Street Celebration

By now, this just seemed like the perfect opportunity to partner up with find it to do something I'd been secretly longing to do - help transform my little street into a temporary public art gallery for a day! This was so much fun. I've already written a whole bunch about the 23rd Avenue Artwalk & Street Celebration here, so here are just a few pictures.

Should we do this again this year? That's something I've been wondering. I kind of think it might have been a one-time serendipitous event. I guess we'll have to see.

The Inglewood Night Market

Which brings us to this year's new pop-up: the Inglewood Night Market.

Calgarians like to stay up late. And there was the perfect little street to close off and fill up with artisans, local merchants, food, live music, and fun. So that's what we did, just a month ago in June 2013. It was pouring rain... but it was still packed with night owls who seemingly had just been aching for an outdoor gathering place to stroll around, shop, and mingle.

So we're doing it three more times... starting this Friday!

Too bad I don't yet have a bunch of pictures from our jam-packed first market to give you a better idea. This will have to do for now.

By now, our team had been joined by local food blogger and CBC Radio personality Julie Van Rosendaal, as well as by Andy, cheerful proprietor of Inglewood hot spot Gravity Espresso & Wine Bar. With what's become the trademark combination of a whole range of skill sets, personalities and crazy ideas, the find it team has been working to put together the next incarnation of the Inglewood Night Market for this Friday, July 12th.

It'll feature dozens of local merchants and artists, a whole lot of food, including food trucks and street fare courtesy of our neighbours at BITE Groceteria, live performances by local musicians Matt Masters with Craig McCaul, as well as the Rick Climans Jazz Group... and more, of course. The market starts at 6 PM and goes till midnight.

You can find out more about all this stuff on the find it website, www.finditcalgary.ca (so it's actually pretty silly that I decided to re-cap it all here, to tell you the truth... especially when I should have been putting up some more details about the upcoming Night Market, on the find it website! Well, I'll have to do that tomorrow - so stay tuned)!

Meanwhile, I just thought a little bit of back story about who we are and why we're doing this and what it's all about, might be a good idea. And fun. This has all been so much fun!!!

And that's enough about that... for now.

See you at the
Night Market!

Imagine Calgary

3/19/2013

I've had this cool group of local visionaries on my radar since 2007 or 8, when I first heard of "Plan It Calgary." That visioning process has evolved into the imagineCALGARY of today (follow that link to see their lovely new website). But I've always been watching from the sidelines since I was (first) usually out of town, and (later) always at home being a new mom.

Well, now that my son is four years old, I can actually find a little free time now and then to get out and participate in these exciting conversations. I was really looking forward to attending my first imagineCALGARY event this morning. I imagined myself talking with grown-ups about far-sighted, complicated visions, and most of all, enjoying a change of pace from my usual life at home building train tracks with my four-year-old. It's a bit ironic that one of the big selling points of this particular event was that we'd get to play with Lego. Honestly, if I never see any Lego again, I'd probably be ok with that. At least it wasn't train tracks!

Joking aside (the Lego was fun), this was an awesome crowd of thinkers and doers. The opportunity to learn about what they've been up to, and what they want to do next, was inspiring. Here are my sketchnotes:

I was drawn to Bob Miller's suggestion that everyday citizens could engage their neighbourhood spaces with simple activities such as front-yard gardening. This idea reminded me of the 23rd Avenue Artwalk & Street Celebration I helped to organize on my street in Ramsay last year: an event that grew out of a desire to share and showcase the creative talents of a street full of neighbours.

Our one-day event certainly convinced me that getting neighbours out on their front lawns is a great way to forge connections, make streetscapes more lively and lovely, and enjoy all sorts of excellent long-lasting "by-products" into the bargain (neighbourhood safety... friendships... inspiration... not to mention a line on local vegetables, if your neighbours happen to be the Leaf Ninjas). Anyway, I joined this group of thinkers who were working on building a lego model of what our "living sidewalks" (enlivened by gardens, art and general neighbourhood creativity). Here's Mike Fotheringham showing the street we designed.

It's a cul-de-sac that features a painted street, gardens and art installations in front yards, as well as all sorts of other front-yard features to entice visitors over: a bench, a firepit, a gazebo, and an empty lot featuring a tire filled with potatoes. Oh, and some chickens - or at least, a representational chicken leg.

Our group discussion unearthed other ways to engage our street- and sidewalkscapes:

Pop-Ups (shameless plug: take a look at find it!)
Home business ventures, from lemonade stands to yard sales to craft fairs
Street festivals
Firepits for chilly evenings (with hot chocolate for neighbours who stop by)
"Little Free Libraries"
Water tanks & rain barrels for watering gardens
Public art (for some great homegrown examples courtesy of Calgary is Awesome, see here)
(And by the way, public art can sometimes serve a purpose as well as plain old street beautification: witness the Painted Utility Box Program and Sunalta's muralized pedestrian crossing)

Good things about this kind of engagement:
It doesn't have to cost a lot
It doesn't (have to) require jumping through a lot of bureaucratic hoops
It can have great side-effects (traffic calming; crime prevention; neighbourhood networking; creative inspiration; healthy outdoor activity... the list is endless!)
And... it can get people (such as elderly folks) engaged, who wouldn't usually have that kind of opportunity

If you need more inspiration about this kind of thing, look no further than this TED Talk by Jason Roberts of Austin, Texas, in case you haven't heard about his brilliant "Better Blocks."

Well - our group of imagineCALGARIANS talked about staying in touch in order to make something happen on our own streetscapes. Stay tuned! I'll let you know what we come up with!

Thanks, imagineCALGARY, for a great morning. And now back to the train tracks.

Mayor's Lunch for Arts Champions

2/21/2013

0 Comments

Today I had the pleasure of attending the Mayor's Lunch for Arts Champions - a first-time event celebrating Calgary artists, art patrons, and anyone else who's being irresistibly drawn to the incredible arts-empowered vibe in Calgary these days. It was fun to have lunch at the find it table with a few members of the find it team (and a few others I didn't even get the chance to get to know!). It was inspiring to see so many Calgarians who are passionate about the arts... including the folks at City Hall! And, for me, also nice to take a step away from my usual mostly-stay-at-home-mom life in Ramsay and mingle with so many members of Calgary's arts community.

Here's a graphic recording of sorts - sketched at the table during the lunch - to celebrate a great event!

And now, back to the only "creative" work I can ever realistically get done while my son's awake...!

Soul of the City

Here are some photos of a graphic recording I had the honour to create today at a really cool local speaker series hosted by the ever-dynamic team at Calgary Economic Development. "Soul of the City" is presenting speakers on a whole range of subjects. Who's invited? Calgarians who are passionate about what's happening in Calgary - and who want to contribute to the discussion.

Today's talk, entitled "Weaving Public Art & Architecture into the Fabric of our City" featured four speakers, each of whom contributed a unique take on the concept.

My job: draw what they said!

I'll post some more images from this great event soon. After I've had some sleep. (6 AM wake-up call, power-drawing session and subsequent long day with an energetic 4-yr-old have left me no choice but to conk out without further notice. Stay tuned!)

Update: Here's a link to a time-lapse video of me making the graphic recording, edited delightfully so you can listen to the talks, too!

Calgary is Awesome at the artwalk

Can you believe it, the wonderful folks at Calgary is Awesome wrote this great photo essay about our 23rd Avenue Artwalk & Street Celebration, and I didn't even know about it until recently! I will have to put this lovely montage up on the artwalk site. But for now I'm just putting it here because it is so nice. Thanks a million, CIA!

A COMMUNITY THAT CARES:
Last weekend the community of Ramsay exploded at the seams with great art and I got to take some of it in on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Known as the Artists’ Avenue, 23rd Ave SE in Ramsay threw open its doors, lawns and garages for an epic art stroll last weekend. Everyone was so friendly and more than happy to share their passions for art and gardening with everyone who came by.

Binzento Vincente on 23rd Avenue

10/18/2012

Excited to report that Calgary arts & fashion blogger Vincent Law posted a review of our recent 23rd Avenue Artwalk on his acclaimed blog Binzento Vincente. I happened to meet Vincent at an ArtPoint opening this summer and told him about our upcoming artwalk. Not only did he come by to soak up some Ramsay-style creativity, he also did two other things that made me really happy.

1. He took some really awesome photos of our event. I'm so pleased about this because we were missing a few pictures of some of our artists, and now we have a bit more evidence that the artwalk really did take place! And:

2. He wrote in his blog: "I found a hidden gem in YYC few weeks ago. 23rd Ave SE location lies the homes of artists. Officially I can call it the most artsy part of town..." Wow! This is high praise from someone who spends a fair bit of time chronicling Calgary's arts & fashion scene. I've taken the liberty of posting one of Vincent's photos here, but be sure to take a look at his blog to read the rest of the review and see the pictures. Scroll down the page a little bit - the first event on the page is Vincent's review of another Calgary arts event, opening night at the Glenbow Museum's exhibition, Fairy Tales, Monsters, and the Genetic Imagination. Thanks, Vincent!

I had the chance yesterday to participate in a really eye-opening workshop that was put together by Bowness-based Conscious Brands. Kara Stonehouse of AHA! Graphic Facilitation was in town to tell Calgarians about a unique job that's increasingly in demand. "Graphic recording" means creating a live illustrated summation or record of an event like a board meeting or workshop. ...
