The Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek is excited to share our upcoming
Everyone Has a Story Songwriters workshop with
Alberta Artist in Residence John Wort Hannam
This FREE workshop will take place at The Annex - conference room, 753 Kettles Street Pincher Creek, AB T0K 1W0 on August 1 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
"Everyone Has A Story” is a songwriting workshop designed for Albertans of all backgrounds and all levels. This project will guide participants through the creative process of songwriting- from idea generation to final composition. (It is important to note that participants do not need to play an instrument or sing - this workshops focuses on song lyrics.)
This event is free but does require you to sign up online HERE as space is limited to 24 spots. We encourage folks 18+ to sign up soon!
"Participants will work towards creating a song that is based on a personal story or personal experience because I believe that when we tell our own stories and listen to each other’s stories, we can connect and when there's connection, we develop bonds. If we understand our neighbours, particularly if our communities are diverse culturally, politically and/or religiously, then we can develop empathy and compassion for our fellow Albertans. With these powerful emotions, we can attain stronger communities and more joyful lives."

The Creatives Meetup
Wednesday mornings from
1:00pm-4:00pm
Back after the summer holidays in September!
The Creatives Meetup is a FREE, weekly open studio on Wednesdays at The Lebel.
Easels, tables and chairs are provided- you bring the rest!
The Allied Arts Council is opening up its third floor meeting space on Wednesday afternoons for artists to meet up and work together, chat, collaborate or just hang out and make connections.
Started in the fall of 2022 by Heidi Bengry, this Wednesday artist meetup is a place where artists can come work in a space together for a few hours with no instruction provided. This is a great opportunity to meet up and chat with other creatives in your community, get advice, critiques or work on your own with some company. Bring your supplies, some inspiration and your latest works!
*Individuals 18 and under interested in participating in The Creatives Meetup must be accompanied by an adult. *
Pincher Creek Photo Collective Meetups
Last Tuesday of every month from 6-9pm at The Lebel
We are excited to share that we will be hosting regular meetups.
These meetups are for folks interested in photography to gather, connect and share what they're excited about.
Everyone is welcome, there is no cost to participate and we look forward to sharing our space with lots of local photo enthusiasts. Bring along whatever you're excited about from photos and ideas to cameras and equipment.
Please note- as this is not a formal class or workshop but a meetup event there is no instruction provided and folks under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
After a post in our local community events group by local hobbyist photographer Gregory Lamming saw quite a bit of interest he sought out a space for a regular meetup and the Lebel seemed like the perfect place!
We look forward to this drop in meetup becoming a regular event.
