Making Art History at the MAG: A Global Tour of Tattoo History Part 2

Making Art History is a 2-part micro-art and history class. The first class starts with a brief lesson on art movements or artists in history (as well as contemporary artists). The second class will occur the following week, and we’ll focus on completing our projects while enjoying a lively discussion about the themes and techniques we’ve been exploring! ✨

This month’s Making Art History presents A Global Tour of Tattoo History Part 2

From the invention of the camera to the tattoo studios of today, Part 2 of this series traces how a centuries-old art form evolved, spread, and diversified across the modern world. Explore the global meanings and practices that photography helped preserve and popularize and develop your eye for the distinct styles shaping contemporary tattooing. Then, you’ll put your new knowledge to work in the most fitting way possible: designing your very own flash sheet using watercolour, ink, pencil, and pen on watercolour paper. 🎨

Classes run August 5 & 12 from 6-8 pm. Registration covers both classes. All supplies included.

Flyathlon 2026 - Freshwater Conservation Canada

The Flyathlon is a multi-sport event that integrates three activities: trail running, fishing, and craft beer. While many enjoy these activities independently, we have found over the years that putting them together is even more enjoyable. The overwhelming majority of funds raised by our Flyathletes through this event will be used for freshwater ecosystems. The Flyathlon is designed to be largely inclusive rather than truly competitive. The Flyathlon seeks to break down barriers through accessible events that create positive and fishy outdoor experiences and memories. It is our hope that through this type of exposure, we can create new outdoor advocates. The Flyathlon is designed specifically to promote responsible fishing practices and trail habits.

Join us on September 12th, 2026, for our first annual Flyathlon, a unique multi-sport event combining trail running, fishing and craft beer in Red Deer, Alberta. The race will start at Canada 150 place. Finishers and spectators will finish at the Troubled Monk, a local full craft beverage company. Total route distance is 5km.

Flyathletes will run with their rods and gear along the trail and decide when to stop to cast and hopefully catch a fish! Be sure to record species and estimated size for a chance to win prizes! Once you have successfully caught and released your fish and completed the route, you will finish the race with a nice, cold beverage.

Never fished before? No worries! Helpful "fish whisperers" volunteers will be available along the route to help you out. The race will begin at 1 pm MT. Registration is $100, and Flyathletes are required to fundraise a minimum of $250. Prizes will be provided to the top fundraisers. Other fun prizes to be given out to top course finishers, smallest fish caught, largest fish caught and more. But wait, there's more!

Flyathletes are provided a race tee, one drink ticket, food and a $50 tax receipt for signing up!

In summary:

Date: September 12th 2026

Location: Red Deer, AB. Canada 150 Place/Troubled Monk

Race distance: 5km

Start time: 1 pm MT

Registration fee: $100

Minimum Fundraising goal for Flyathletes: $250

Because this is a fundraising race, we have a requested minimum fundraising amount of $250 per flyathlete. Money raised will go towards on-the-ground projects.
