SCHMANCY

Well, Schmoozy did not dissappoint! It was a packed house on Saturday, and I got to catch up with lots of people I haven't seen for ages. Nights like these always remind me of all the amazing artists and creative people that make life in Edmonton worth it, while bringing a bit of glamour to gloomy winters. Here are some of my favourite faces.

Rob Batke, an awesome musician (who happens to also be my oldest friend since kindergarten!)

Kirsta Franke (left) is one half of the lady-team that makes the 124 Street Grand Market happen. Mackenzy Albright (center) and Rachelle Bowen (right) are two ultra-cool artists who sometimes collaborate and also happen to be romantically involved.

The super-talented artist/designers Jeff Klassen and Sergio Serrano pictured here with a lovely lady who's name is Aimee.

Partners in life and art, Josh Holinaty and Genevieve Simms, pictured here with rapper and writer Omar Mouallam. Too much awesomeness!

TONIGHT!

I am pretty excited to be shooting photos for Latitude 53 tonight at their fundraiser event The Fine Art of Schmoozy. Some fabulous artwork up for auction if you want to drop by and support the gallery. If you can't make it, consider buying a membership or giving one as a gift. This place is one of the raddest — and oldest — artist run centres in western Canada, and are preparing for their big move to a larger space on the main floor of the building next door. Exciting!

Don your gay apparel and come celebrate with live music and fancy cocktails while you peruse neat artworks like this one and I snap your best serious-art-collector expression.

This work by Adriean Koleric is just one of the pieces we’re hanging in the gallery for the Schmoozy silent auction this week—we’ll be posting more photos over the next few days.
