Photo of the Week for 2011/11/25



Calgary Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; C.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything in between. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

All You Need is Love

POSTED January 27, 2012 BY Irene Seto

Love is in the air and at the old Ant Hill building in Kensington too! Market Collective is hosting an early Valentine’s edition on February 4th and 5th. As usual, admission is $3 or free with a food bank donation (the last MC raised 880 pounds of food for the Food Bank!).  Free coffee and tea will be made available  all day from The Roasterie and Tian Tea. The upstairs galleries will feature works from Light & Soul, Bad Portraits, Light up the World as well as the science centre. Great musicians will be on hand on both days, including an all-female lineup on Sunday featuring artists like Megan Feniak (accompanied by Boreal Sons), Yolanda Sargeant (accompanied by DJ Comrade) and Carolyn ‘Lady C’ Fraser. Even if you don’t find something to take home from MC, be sure to stop by the popular MC Photobooth to get your picture take in a love-themed wonderland.

Market Collective: All You Need is Love
February 4 & 5
Saturday 10-6
Sunday 11-5
The Old Ant Hill Building, 148 10th street NW (Kensington)
