Over a period of 17 years, Gordon Milne has attended company class each week to draw the dancers of Alberta Ballet. This ongoing relationship has inspired a very distinctive feel to his drawings and paintings celebrating movement in dance. Through May 26 - 28, the Alberta Ballet Studios (Nat Christie Centre in Calgary) will be transformed into a gallery featuring artist Gordon Milne's collection of dance/dancer paintings.
The exhibit celebrates Alberta Ballet's 50th anniversary. Calgarians are also invited to see the historical exhibit, courtesy of the Provincial Archives of Alberta, that captures the names, stories and photos from Alberta Ballet's first 50 years.
Please join us for this exciting event of dance and visual art.
