CALGARY GENERAL HOSPITAL COMMEMORATIVE PLAZA

Calling on all who may have had a connection with the historic Calgary General Hospital

Were you or someone in your family born there?  Were you cared for there? Were you educated there?  Did you work there?  Were you affiliated through supply, service, delivery, or construction?

We want to remember ‘The General’.

Bridgeland Riverside Community Association is proud to announce the development of a Commemorative Plaza to celebrate the 108-year history and legacy of the Calgary General Hospital.

Paper Story Exhibit and Installation

Paper Story Exhibit and Installation

Sat Sept 21 & Sun Setp 22
1-5-pm
BRCA Hall

Closing Reception -Sun 3-5 – take a sheet of paper home!

Learn about the papermaking process and join local artist Andrea Lau for a free papermaking workshop! Paper will be crafted using invasive weed material that has been collected and processed into paper pulp. Workshops will be about 45 mins in length. 
Paper Story is a public art project that addresses the issue of invasive weeds and questions the perceptions around value. 
Note: All paper created will remain with the artist as it will need time to dry, and is being crafted as part of a large art installation. Paper will be given out on September 21-22 to all who attend the installation/exhibition event (but you might not get the sheet you made specifically).
A project in partnership with the Bridgeland-Riverside Community Association, generously supported by the Calgary Arts Development.
