“London, UK? Wonderful! You’ll have so much fun. You can hop on a train and travel all over Europe!”

Art and 3D Technology: A Beautiful Pairing for RBC Emerging Visual Artists
Christopher Savage’s work, along with three other artists, is currently on exhibition in the Window Galleries at Arts Commons, and available now for online 3D tours. The design surrounding Savage’s artwork is logical and intuitive, wanting to draw the viewer in and help them look closer at the network of lines and gestural strokes spanning across his work. But how does such intention translate when the Window Galleries—where Savage along with many other RBC Emerging Visual Artists are showing—are closed to the public? Technology steps in.
The Power of an Image
When you hear Alberta, what picture comes to mind?
Among the reel of photos you may visualize, one that likely unites all Albertans is our imaginings of the mountains. Let me tell you about my story of the mountains.
Almost straight-out of the womb, my parents took me on a road trip to our beloved Rocky Mountains. Actually, I spent much of my youth travelling our province, and the entire West Coast, in our family minivan. Sometimes in my car seat I sat side-by-side with my great grandmother, other times my napping sister, other times a cousin and so on. At some point or other, all of my grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles have spent time in the van - and like most Albertans, our favourite destination has always been the mountains!
