Discover Experience Celebrate

Little Miss Higgins September 23 at the Geomatic Attic Doors open 7pm

Show starts 8pm

From the Great Northern Plains of Western Canada, Little Miss Higgins struts and serenades her way, guitar in hand, lips blazoned red, onto any stage. As if she just drove in off the back-road of another time with gravel dust and a sunset trailing behind her, this pocket-sized powerhouse plays music brews up in old-time country blues sprinkled with a little jazz and maybe a hint of folk. Whether itʼs songs about passion or songs about panties, she writes about real things in a rooted and poetic way. Tickets $30 available online www.geomaticattic.com or at Casa, Blueprint, or at Mike Spencer Geometrics. The Geomatic Attic is Located at #70—491 W.T. Hill Blvd. South One block south and one block west of Casino Lethbridge. Immediately South of McDonald Nissan.

Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra Chamber Series 1 Friday September 27 at 8pm in the Casa Community Room

Rush seating, tickets $30/$25 for students and seniors, available at the LSO ofﬁce or at the door www.lethbridgesymphony.org

JOHN-PAUL KSAIZEK :: PIANO

The LSO comes to Casa to begin their Chamber Series with a variety of pieces ﬁt for an autumn evening with Beethovenʼs First String Quartet. Slightly programmatic in nature, the second movement was inspired by the tomb scene in Shakespeareʼs Romeo and Juliet. Dvořákʼs highly popular American String Quartet, composed during his time in Spillville, Iowa in 1893, provides a dramatic change in style. Finally, we welcome pianist John-Paul Ksaizek for Hungarian composer Ernö Dohnányiʼs Piano Quintet in C Minor. w w w.a r tsd a y sl e t h b r i dge. o rg

Messages Message from His Worship Mayor Rajko Dodic

Message from Kris Hodgson President, Allied Arts Council Lethbridge

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Lethbridge Arts Days 2013. Lethbridge is home to a unique array of talented artists, and Arts Days provides abundant opportunities to see, hear and appreciate their work.

On behalf of the Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge I am very pleased to welcome you to Lethbridge ArtsDays 2013. We are happy to be showcasing the incredible and diverse talent of the Lethbridge arts community once again this year.

The Arts are one of the core components of our communityʼs future, and this fact is reﬂected in the City of Lethbridge Integrated Community Sustainability Plan, approved by City Council in 2010. Casa, our new downtown Community Arts Centre, is a tangible example of the Cityʼs commitment to the Arts. It serves as a cornerstone, reminding us all how much a vital arts community enriches the quality of life in our community.

This year, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of ArtWalk. This event has grown exponentially over the past ten years. We now have over 50 venues comprised of arts facilities, businesses, community facilities and even empty storefronts! Over the years, weʼve worked in cooperation with many event partners to make this event a success. These partners include the Downtown BRZ, SAAG, Bowman Arts Centre, Galt Museum & Archives, UofL Art Gallery and the Lethbridge Public Library.

Lethbridge Arts Days is one of many arts celebrations taking place around the province as part of Alberta Culture Days from September 22-29. Locally, the Allied Arts Council has planned an array of Arts Days activities for city residents and visitors to enjoy. These events and activities showcase the diversity of Lethbridgeʼs arts community in a broad range of disciplines including visual art, music, performances, demonstrations and more.

The event has expanded since 2003 from a one day event to a week-long event now in 2013. In 2010, the province of Alberta initiated a province-wide initiative known as Arts Days which enabled the Allied Arts Council to expand the parameters of ArtWalk into Lethbridge Arts Days. Since then, we have added musical, theatrical, literary, dance and new media elements into the event, making it a truly multi-disciplinary event.

I would like to thank the Allied Arts Council and the other dedicated volunteers who have worked diligently to bring Arts Days to our community. Your efforts help make Lethbridge a culturally rich community.

Rajko Dodic, QC Sipioohkitopii (Night Rider) Mayor, 2013

We also welcome Casa, our new community arts centre into the festivities this year; which provides the arts community with ample space to create and showcase many forms of art. Thank you to all the artists, participants and patrons who make this annual event so very special. We encourage you to participate in Arts Days events and enjoy the diversity of the talent in our community; revealing how the arts are a vital and thriving part of our community. Again I wish to stress that we believe that Arts Days is an ideal opportunity to support our mission of providing leadership in advancing and enhancing the arts in Lethbridge.

MISSION

The Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge provides leadership in advancing and enhancing the arts in Lethbridge

VISION

A vibrant arts community enriches Lethbridge
