Get Your Instagrams Ready!
To help celebrate Calgary Pride this year, the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre teamed up with a couple of local artists and installed a wicked cool mural on one of their south facing windows, on Stephen Avenue. Calgary Pride officially runs from August 23rd to Sept 2nd 2019 (but unofficially it’s all the time amirite?). Bud of Buds had a hand in this too (It’s my understand that they’re an organisation that is able to come up with money/projects for local artists? is that right? I’m sure someone will correct me in the comments if it’s not hah).
It’s located in the place you’d expect to find Otafest, on Stephen Avenue. Beside those doors. You know the place.
The Calgary Pride Parade will be passing right by here on September 1st.
update: it’s now gone.

Who Painted It?
Tanner Hamilton and Kathryne Pearce. Who are they you ask?! I dunno, they’re the people that painted the mural. That’s all I know, man.
Here’s a video:
Come enjoy our new window mural. Special shout-out to Buds of Buds for this creating this inspiring project for us!
