Creating Community, Connection through Art Workshops

Community, connection, and creativity - three c’s that keep the Bleeding Heart beating - come together beautifully through the workshops we host at the Art Space. It’s also something that got me involved with the Bleeding Heart Art Space, believing that we are all created to be creative and it’s important to give ourselves room to explore that in community, regardless of what our skill level or experience is.

Over the years, small groups have been able to gather at Bleeding Heart to learn or hone existing skills from local artists, creating a space that celebrates, encourages, and coaxes people further into their artistic and creative selves.  I am so happy that workshops are a part of who we are.

We have made a change to how we organize workshops in the hope that it will connect us with a wide variety of artists who also value this sort of creative space.

You can read more about what it means to be a Workshop Facilitator in our space here . And after reading that, if you think this is something you would like to be part of, please fill out an application form. Applications will be considered by the Bleeding Heart lead team.

Hoping to connect & create with you soon!

"Pressing for Progress" by Filling in the Gaps of the Historical Record

On this International Women’s Day we’re gearing up for Regarding Mary, a brand new exhibit by Marlena Wyman that is scheduled to open March 10th.

Marlena has served on the board of the Women’s Art Museum Society of Canada and worked as the Audio/Visual Archivist at the Provincial Archives of Alberta for 28 years. She has always created art, even when she was a single mom and working full-time.

Big Top Awesome: Pam Baergen Enters The Cirque du Soleil 'Kurios' Cabinet

Big Top Awesome: Pam Baergen Enters The Cirque du Soleil 'Kurios' Cabinet

The first Cirque du Soleil performance I ever saw was “O”, at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The show was massive, and it imprinted my mind with dream-like images of high-divers, a man on fire, and people floating away on hoops like weightless bubbles blown through a child's plastic wand. 

Cirque occupies its own genre of performing art, blending acrobatics, clowning, creative movement, live music, and spectacularly odd displays of talent. If you’ve ever witnessed a Cirque du Soleil performance, I'm sure you’ll agree that it is difficult to describe. If you haven’t seen a Cirque show yet (or if you are eager to see one again), now’s your chance: “Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities” has set up a Big Top Tent in Northlands Park until August 13, just several blocks from the Bleeding Heart.
