The Works Festival: Design your sign with the Edmonton Wayfinding Society!

Come one come all to Churchill Square this Saturday! The Edmonton Wayfinding Society is hosting a sign-making workshop where participants are invited to create directional signs that represent a place of personal significance. The signs will be attached to poles around the square, highlighting human experiences in our built environment. It will also be buckets of fun so be there!

Pop Pop Shop: Support student designers and artists!

Y'all need to go to the SDA's Pop-Up shop! I'm glad to see it's back for another year and I hope it's to become a tradition. It will be open from December 11–21 in Enterprise Square with store hours being from 11–6pm. Stop by to pick up some art & design pieces and handcrafted goods. For more information, check out the SDA's website, or check out their instagram to see some of the goods available. 

Outburst Auction

Every year, the art and design students at the University of Alberta join together to auction off their artwork and designed goods. The money raised goes towards paying for a final exhibition for that year's graduating BFA and BDes classes (the BDes grad show will be March 29–April 9th, 2016, and the BFA grad show will be April 19–30, 2016. Both will be hosted in FAB gallery at the University of Alberta, and are free for anyone to visit).

This year's fundraising auction is called Outburst and will be hosted at 7pm Friday, November 27th, at the Telus Centre on the UAlberta campus. Although I have already graduated, I'm contributing a couple dozen German Star Christmas ornaments. You should stop by and bid on them... Click here to see some of the other work available.
