There are a couple art related events happening downtown on the weekend.
 The Southern Alberta Art Gallery wants you to get happy with happy hour, May 13. There will be live music, great conversation and friendship as well as  the latest works on display at the museum. It takes place from 5-7 p.m. at the SAAG.

 On May 14, the French Canadian Centre is hosting their first art exhibition —  a “Bazaar” of photography from Cosmin Badea.

 Badea is an amateur photographer who loves to spend his free time taking pictures. With his first exhibition, “Bazaar”,  Badea is  introducing the public to several aspects of daily life which inspire him.

There will be landscapes, portraits of animals and birds, either in their wild habitat or captives, very interesting urban landscapes, trucks and construction machineries, as well as macro photography taken in his mini-studio.

At the end of the night, for those interested, there will be a prize drawing with the chance to win a grand-format (24 x 36 inches) of one of his photos, signed by the artist. One ticket costs $ 10.

The money collected will be donated to the Francophone Photo Club of Lethbridge for purchasing photo books in French or different materials needed for the club members.
 The event takes place  May 14, from 5 -8 p.m. at La Cité des praires/2104 6 Ave S. Admission is free.
