We opened on Friday from 7-10pm and were aligned with a number of events happening around the city for Alberta Culture Days and the Downtown Art Walk. Almost immediately we started to get a steady stream of visitors, including the mayor and a number of city councilors. Phil and Jessie can relate, because between snapping pictures, there wasn't a moment that night that I wasn't engaged in conversation about our exhibition. The images really seemed to spark people's imagination and Phil, Jessie, and I were continually making the rounds.
Here is a brief video I shot on Sunday afternoon to showcase the Beveridge Block, and document a bit more of what our exhibition and the space actually looked like.

Thank you to everyone who came out on opening night and supported Thinking Hat - and a huge thanks to Phil and Jessie for twisting my arm and getting me on board in the first place. It was an amazing experience. Stay tuned for a few more pictures from the rest of the weekend.

"And a child shall lead them..." is an expression that resounds when it comes to the Thinking Hat! Young minds--with a history in Medicine Hat--have re-envisioned a downtown core that is vibrant and inspiring. Folks are talking! We needed to see what is possible. Now it is only a matter of doing....
