Featuring Ashley Bristowe, Simon Wong, Sable Sweetgrass, and Stafford Arima

Calgary Arts Development & Bamboo Shoots

This city is bursting with creativity! Each month, Adora Nwofor sits down with some amazing Calgary creatives and gets a behind-the-scenes look at their process.

This month, planner, author, and artist Ashley Bristowe dreams of building a city that nurtures creatives, calligrapher Simon Wong shares how his art has evolved, playwright Sable Sweetgrass explores self-discovery through storytelling, and artistic director Stafford Arima talks about the importance of taking risks.

All this on Living a Creative Life—be sure to tune in at 3:00pm on May 17, 2022, for the premiere.

How do you live creatively? If you have a creative story or a project to feature or know a talented person we should talk to, email submissions@calgaryartsdevelopment.com or tag your posts with #yycLCL on social media.

Also, we want to see your time-lapse videos of your projects from beginning to end. So, set up your cameras and get to it.

We’d love to feature them on a future episode!
