Crafting cake creations

Airdrie artist Gareth Worrall loves wide-open Alberta landscapes; the mountains, the lakes and the wind-swept vistas, but that’s not really why he paints them. “It’s a big stress relief,” he says.

First impressions are powerful and what the observer first sees in the art of Airdrie artist Keith Gorham is the absolute explosion of colour.

Inspired by a five-year-old’s question of "who looks after the animals?" after a trip to the Calgary Zoo, Airdrie Children’s Festival Society (ACFS) founder Pete Lewis felt compelled to create a community-wide event to answer this and other great questions.
