These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today. Across the globe, powerful little men toy with the world’s future like it’s a game of chicken. Hurricanes have ravaged large parts of our earth. Families will suffer the effects for years to come. Terrorists won’t let London sleep.
This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.
There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place.
Jennifer Berkenbosch’s Cultivar matters because the world needs beauty today. We need to be reminded that there is goodness. There is a solid bed beneath this wild river.
Take a moment. Reflect. Take stock. Ask yourself, where has art taken me this week? What has left a mark.As we ask together, we grow richer. The comments below are wide open, friends.

It's Tuesday - let's talk art. This week, I got to take in 'Museum School' - an Art Gallery of Alberta program for elementary school kids. I also dove into some new Netflix discoveries, spent good time reading and finished some knitting. Not a bad art week, all in all.
But I'll get to all of that in the comments.
What art, media and culture have you engaged with this past week? What would you recommend and why?
Art is best enjoyed and digested in community, so this is our weekly space to have those conversations - to practice discernment as a collective.

It's Tuesday - let's talk art. This week, I sat down for the hour and a half creative burst that is The LEGO Movie. "Everything is Awesome" is a fitting theme song for this intricately built technicolor spectacle that brought back some of the feelings of wonder I had watching the very first Toy Story.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.

It's Tuesday - let's talk art. This week, I powered through Steal Like an Artist, a great little book by Austin Kleon.

It's Tuesday - let's talk art. This week, I've been listening to Bridge Songs: Dear Edmonton, song submissions, and learned a bit about what it means to be an Edmontonian. I've also paid a visit to Lyndal Osborne's massive retrospective at the AGA. Wow.

Art speaks. It's time to stop and listen in community. Arty Tuesday is a project where we post one, two or three pieces of art or media that have made an impact on our lives over the past week. This time around we can cheat a little and cover the past few weeks, as we've taken a lovely holiday break and have some catching up to do.
Share your pieces, then take a moment to comment on the sharing of others. Join the conversation!

It's that time again - the weekly communal gathering to survey the dent that art has made in our collective lives. Art speaks. Stop and listen in community as you share up to three pieces, poems, shows, books and the like that have made their mark the past seven days.
I'll get to Yule Ave, my return to Twin Peaks and Kicking at The Darkness. I look forward to reading yours.
