Flat Iron Building in Gas City Among My Favourite Pieces
At the Bugera Matheson Gallery, I fell in love with this particular piece of art by David Wilson entitled "The Other Side." It features the Flat Iron Building in Gas City. Coincidentally, it resembles with remarkable accuracy an intersection in Calgary, Alberta as well. Many cities across North America are proud to claim a flat iron building in their midst. Edmonton's own flat iron building sits at the intersection of Jasper Avenue and Gibson Block. It has changed ownership a few times since its original construction in 1913. You may read more about the history of flat iron buildings.
"Transitions" by David Wilson.
"The Very Thought of You" by David Wilson
As my friend informed me about an inside joke she and her brother have about it being "Starbucks O'clock", we both lit up to see this piece called "On the Way There." She'd love to own this piece or purchase it for her brother!
Like David's work? See more of it here.

Of the acts we saw that afternoon, we liked this one the best. This performer is from Mexico.
The brothers in the photo above and the next few following are from Ireland.
Above, I had to capture some of the art that dons the poles around Churchill Square.

He really did pass this small hoop over his entire body!

The best green onion cakes at the festival came from this venue!!
I am already looking forward to next year's festival.
Hopefully this time I will not have heat exhaustion as a result!!
