The Art Gallery of Alberta has been getting some great press coverage lately with their new show, Free for All. Hundreds of people have been lining up to submit their own artwork to the gallery -- kind of like a Canadian Idol audition for visual art.

The tremendous popularity of this initiative is really inspiring, showing just how important art is to so many people. Check out this link from CBC Arts Online for more information, and if you find yourself at the Art Gallery of Alberta over the next month (the show runs March 3-24), be sure to let us know what you think (an entry in our Creative Calgarians Journal would be an ideal way to share this information!).
