Article content Here’s your weekly look at things to do in Edmonton Friday. Found Festival Edmonton’s most wide-ranging and delightfully oddball festival includes theatre, dance, music, art and a search for four-leaf clovers with Geoffrey Simon Brown (featuring musical accompaniment by ghostcars Saturday and Bigfin Squid Sunday). Brick S***house is the fest’s flagship play running through July 14 at The Tesserae Factory while nostalgic dance piece Islands of Utopia on Queen Elizabeth Park Road looks delightful.
Sound/spoken/music installation The Nature of Us in the adjacent park is also compelling — both of these happen Friday to Sunday. Please visit commongroundarts.ca for many more events and tickets — though much is free, including concerts in Paul Kane and McKernan skate parks! Details When: now until Sunday Where: at various locations Cost: free or $31 by event Born Naked Nude art? Go figure! Celebrating the various forms we humans inhabit, Harcourt House’s annual nude model art sale runs the spectrum of art media and historical styles, representational to abstract by 25 local artists.
While Calgary’s public art is notably figuratively obsessed , 32 years of this evocative Edmonton tradition is truly worth celebrating and also serves as a gallery fundraiser, with 30 per cent of proceeds going to keeping the artist-run centre in our creative ecosystem. Every, you know, body welcome! Details When: Friday through July 13, 7-9:30 p.m.
Where: Harcourt House Ann.
