Strathearn A.V. Club goes cycling...
Seeing as how we’re in the midst of a heated Community Bike Challenge this June, Strathearn A.V. Club is soliciting suggestions for favourite books, films, and songs about/for cycling. Recommend a tune you use to pump yourself up for a marathon ride or an inspirational film that makes you want to cruise the streets on two wheels (Hot take - unicyclists are for circuses. Come at me bro.) If you’re interested send suggestions and a couple reasons why to events@strathearncl.org or leave them here in the comments.
Today we’re highlighting 1979’s Breaking Away. Rated one of the Top 10 sports films by the American Film Institute Breaking Away is an inspirational story of working-class “cutter” Dave Stohler and his obsession with Italian bike racing. It features terrific performances by 70’s character stalwarts Barbara Barrie and Paul Dooley alongside the early work of stars in the making Dennis Quaid and Daniel Stern.
Here's a link to the movie trailer on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmYs0S-6ry4

New Gallery Space in Strathearn
The snazzy new window display of “fibre arts” in Strathearn Centre is the result of a brand new partnership between the Alberta Council for Ukrainian Arts (ACUA) and the Focus on Fibre Art Association. Beyond simply improving the mall aesthetically the partnership will regularly bring large, public art exhibits to the neighbourhood. First up is an exhibit entitled Embroidered Memories by Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn, starting June 2. The gallery will host the public with evening and weekend exhibition hours. Focus on Fibre Art and ACUA will also be using the space for workshops, guild meetings and of course selling art, fashion and music.
June is the fifth anniversary of the ACUA storefront gallery and boutique’s opening in Strathearn Centre and ACUA President Deb Stasiuk is thrilled with how they’ve been, “…embraced by the neighbourhood.” With over 100 artists work represented the boutique is a go to spot for discerning Strathearn gift buyers. The work of renowned fibre artists such as Elizabeth Holinaty, whose beautiful scarves are featured in the new gallery window will only increase interest for all involved.
This is the third gallery space in Strathearn Centre (Studio Theo, ACUA) and the fourth in the neighbourhood including CAVA on 91st and 95 ave.
