We can't believe it's September!

But the EAR board is gearing up for a new season of activity, Helping Artists BE Artists in Calgary! Here’s what we’ve been up to over the Summer…



The EAR AGM in June was a fun and informative evening … Dr. Sarah Kent brought her expertise in healthy eating and mental focus, while Son Edworthy brought her views on the last Umbrella conference. Reports were heard, and 3 new board members were confirmed, making up the full slate of 9 EAR board members.
 
Welcome, Patrick Close, Hye-Seung Jung and Johanna Schwartz!



The EAR Award has been announced!
Elephant Artist Relief is happy to announce that we are honouring two Calgarians who have gone above and beyond in their support of the arts community:
