Local Strathmore artist Emmeline Keeling will participate in the one-day Obsidian Art Show at the Calgary Chinese Cultural Center. She is among over 50 artists selected for the event, which is organized by the Public Display Agency to connect artists with gallery owners from Webster Galleries, The New Gallery, and Gallery Underground.
This event represents a significant step for Keeling, marking her first art show outside her hometown. The show's structure, where gallerists commit to selecting at least one artist for future representation, provides a crucial platform for emerging local talent to gain exposure and potentially launch their professional careers.
