Calgary poet Stuart Ian McKay is our poet-in-residence during the Calgary Stampede. An antidote to the cowboy hoopla that besieges the city at this time of year, poetry in The Project Room offers some respite for sensitive spirits. Come visit Stuart and write a poem on the wall, or read some of his work-in-progress. To find out more about Stuart, please visit The Project Room.
Last week I opened The UPPERCASE Project Room, a space in Art Central’s Art Loop on the lower level. It is a “mini warehouse” to store all the boxes of our publications and projects, and the other half is a space available for creative projects.
I wanted to adorn the wall of the room with some lettering, so I had some fun with these peel and stick letters I bought a few years ago from a dollar store clear-out sale. Many letters were missing, so I created the missing letterforms by cutting up numbers and extra “donor” letters.
The first activity in The Project Room was complimentary button-making last First Thursday evening. More details about renting the space and equipment will be posted in the next couple weeks (first on my to-do list is get issue 2 finished and off to print in mere days!)
