I'd also like to thank you for your support. We couldn't have done it without you!
PS - we don't have an opening date yet, but we're aiming for sometime in the fall. I do hope you'll be able to drop by and see the space.

A house in Lower Mount Royal that was home to artist John Snow and his wife Kay for many years has been offered to The New Gallery, Calgary's oldest artist-run centre, for use as a Community Resource Centre, a library, archive and space for collaborations on cultural projects. Before this can go ahead, however, the arrangement needs the approval of City Council. The last step of this long process is a public hearing on June 7... Read full story at link above

If we're unsuccessful, the house will remain the responsibility of the owner. I'm not sure what the owner would do with it, although I imagine it would become a rental property.
We're optimistic about our chances, and while we wait, we've been looking into funds for further rehabilitation. I'll keep you updated!
Cheers,
Johanna

FYI, Snow was a friend and associate of artist and architect Maxwell Bates, who designed the studio at the back of the house. Bates is responsible for St. Mary's Cathedral and Sacred Heart Church mentioned elsewhere on this site. More about Bates:
