Meet the Street festival a centrepiece of Alberta Culture Days
Red Deer’s first ever Meet the Street Arts & Culture Festival is happening in Red Deer’s downtown this weekend.
Two alleyways have been transformed with 14 permanent murals, as well as music and multi-coloured lights. The murals can be found in Alley 49.5 and Alley 50.5, which run parallel to, and are just north and south of Ross Street.
Through Sunday, there is live entertainment, a street art fair, the Bizarre Bazaar artisan market and other community pop-up activities.
“A lot of my work lately is based on Dene floral designs, which is traditionally done in beadwork, embroidery, and porcupine quillwork,” shares Black Diamond-based artist Bruno Canadien, who is from the Deh Gáh Got’îê Dene First Nation in Northwest Territories.
