Title: DayNight Art
Artists: Sisay Shimeles and Oksana Kryzhanivska
Location: 3375 Spruce Drive S.W.
Partner: Spruce Cliff community
DayNight Art by Calgary artists Oksana Kryzhanivska and Sisay Shimeles consists of one lit community sign and three structural wind blocking pieces at a gathering space in Calgary’s Spruce Cliff community.
Designs were conceived during multi-cultural art workshops with Spruce Cliff community members that focused on cross-cultural and traditional ways of art making. With the goal of uniting multicultural artists and building stronger community ties that would highlight Spruce Cliff’s identity, participants produced paintings which were incorporated into the final art pieces. The workshops allowed residents to make a permanent mark in the Spruce Cliff community while celebrating and bringing together different cultural perspectives.
Windshields
The windshields celebrate nature and represent Ethiopian and Ukrainian cultural symbolism in the form of coffee bean and egg shapes. These iconic references from the artists’ cultural backgrounds frame transparent collages of the artists work and community members’ paintings. Viewers are encouraged to stand at different places in the area and witness the half shapes becoming full.
Spruce Cliff community sign
The Spruce Cliff community sign aims to evoke a sense of community pride. In addition to incorporating community member’s paintings, the artists lent their culturally inspired imagery to this work. During the day, the piece shows a bright and diverse collage. At night, the backlit artwork gives nod to connectedness through cultural identity.

Artist: Cassie Suche
Title: Rise and Reflect
Year: 2021
Medium: Corten Steel
Location: North side of 17 Avenue S.E. at Barlow Trail/26 Street S.E. (artwork is located on the Blvd.)
Rise and Reflect is an abstract expression of the dynamic nature of the International Avenue area. The work arose through conversations with community members about their personal rituals and the impactful moments in their lives. These stories inspired the artist to create a work referencing expansion and growth. The sculpture suggests these ideas using a linear and geometric visual language, intended to be openly interpreted by viewers as they engage with the work through the lens of their own experiences. The sculpture is cut from a single sheet of steel and rolled into its current form. With time, a patina will form on the surface of the work reflecting the outdoor elements of the surrounding area. Steel fabrication completed by Mercedes + Singh.

Year: 2021
Medium: Stained glass mosaic
Location: South side of 17 Avenue S.E. between 30 Street S.E. and 31 Street S.E. (3111 International Avenue, in front of the Nyla beauty supplies building )
Vahe Tokmajyan - Lead artist in collaboration with Janey Luc-German, Juan Carlos Urria, Lovelia Vera, Maria Loaiza, Zoong Nguyên.
Dance is at the core of many cultures and is as old as the history of humanity. Vahe and his multidisciplinary team of artists have partnered to develop an art piece that celebrates dance as a common form of social expression across all cultures. The sculptural composition represents a partner dance in which their intertwined movements showcase the engagement of mind and body and reflect the joy of dance. Here the dancers align their movements and gestures to the rhythm of the music and create an interconnected performance that tells a story.

Artist: Adrian Stimson
Title: Kawa’pomahkaiks – Animals That Roam the Prairie
Year: 2020
Medium: Laser-cut steel
Location:: Within the planter on the SE corner of the intersection of 17th Ave SE, and 33rd Street SE.
This installation titled Kawa’pomahkaiks – Animals That Roam the Prairie pays homage to the animals that once inhabited, and some that still inhabit, the plains now known as Calgary and International Avenue. Artist inspiration came from engagement sessions with people in the community, specifically the local area children who drew sketches of animals. Laser-cut steel silhouettes of a pronghorn antelope, coyote, badger, prairie dog, beaver, prairie hare, black footed ferret, swift fox and burrowing owl are placed within the planter on 17 Avenue S.E. to playfully interact with people as they take a seat or wander by. Visitors are encouraged to learn the names of the animals and the Siksiká (Blackfoot) pronunciations.

Artist: Mia & Eric
Title: Pick, Pluck, Perch
Year: 2020
Medium: Ussurian pear (golden spice) tree, gold leaf, various shrubs and herbs, field granite boulders, mulch, reclaimed bricks, reclaimed sign post, reclaimed planter box.
Location: Corner of 34th Street and the parking lane off of 17th Avenue SE in front of Southview Motors.
This temporary public art work is centred around a gold gilded pear tree that is underplanted with companion plants and edible herbs and berries. As the tree grows, the gold will stretch, crack, and fall away. Over time the art will breakdown and the community will be left with a mature pear tree, berries, oregano, and thyme that residents are encouraged to harvest. As the plants mature new habitats will be created for insects, birds and others. Complimenting the vegetation are granite boulders as seating and a path made of reclaimed bricks that leads residents between the tree and the repurposed planter box.
During their time exploring International Avenue and the Greater Forest Lawn area, Mia and Eric were struck by the diversity and richness of the foods and flavours found along the Avenue, as well as the multitude of social services, community groups and support networks in this neighbourhood. Their concept builds upon the work already being done by organizations such as The Alex, The Greater Forest Lawn 55+ Society and Antyx Community Arts to create a small social space for people to enjoy on International Avenue.

Title: Stories of Ranchlands
Artist: Alison Katzko
Project: Website and a fence mural
Location: Ranchlands
Partner: Ranchlands community
Stories of Ranchlands explored links between words, art and community. Shared stories are the vital thread in communities. People of all ages were able to share and build their stories. Their identity and connections shine through as art experiences. The program gathered a collection of images, words, poems and memories. Those stories are shared on a website and a fence mural. The mural is located at a location that represents those stories. This art project was developed by Alison Katzko. Alison has been an artist and teacher for 21 years. For 11 of those years, she has been a resident of the Ranchlands community. Alison is a firm believer in the power of a good story. She values shared community experiences.
