Sounds like a really amazing
Sounds like a really amazing gathering. Wish I could be there. But hopefully we can get someone from Team Timeraiser to attend. We are excited to raise the financial ceiling the Timeraiser can pay each artist, as well double the amount of artwork available at each event. Perhaps there is a small role that the Timeraiser can be a part of to help achieve the goals of 'building the capacity of the arts in Calgary'...
