About a break from the ordinary.

Like Cheryl.

Janifer Calvez is also inspired by nature.

And colour.

Page 24: Rage against Beige

Colour was the inspiration for Rage Against Beige.

Page 25: Rage against Beige

Now it’s about artists getting out of their own ordinary.

Page 26: Rage against Beige

A show to “keep us all fresh and honest,” says Cheryl.

Page 27: Rage against Beige

Cheryl’s work is about sustainability.

Page 28: Rage against Beige

“We can’t eat art.”

Page 29: Rage against Beige

“But I’m trying to create art that makes us think

about how we live.”

Page 30: Rage against Beige

Like endangered species.

Page 31: Rage against Beige

And disappearing bees.

Page 32: Rage against Beige

Because there are challenges ahead.

Page 33: Rage against Beige

By 2073, 82,000 people will live in Okotoks.

Page 34: Rage against Beige

Arts and culture will be a part of that growth.

Page 35: Rage against Beige

It is an economic driver.

Page 36: Rage against Beige

And inspires other new businesses.

Page 37: Rage against Beige
