On May 26, 2009, after months of planning, we finally launched artsScene Edmonton and artsScene Calgary! We were fortunate to be joined by the Honourable Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Culture and Community Spirit, along with Nichole Anderson, President/CEO of Business for the Arts, who flew out from Toronto to celebrate the day with us. Check out more pics from the event here! Special thanks to 3TEN for the great photos and to The Citadel Theatre for hosting us!
