ARTS & CULTURE
Paint and Profit
Part art studio, part gallery
and part community centre,
Rumble House brings to-
gether creative Calgarians.
Every Wednesday at 7 p.m.,
artists of all abilities tote
their supplies and start
painting. Two hours later,
art lovers have the chance
to directly support their
favourite creators by pur-
chasing the newly minted
works at auction. Hosted
by Calgary painter, writer
and educator Rich Theroux,
the weekly art battle and
auction is free and open
to all ages. Join in the fun
with like-minded painters,
show up to watch art being
created live, or just attend
for the auction itself—and
snatch up a fresh master-
piece for your wall.

home. Such draws are
commonplace in Britain,
with their origin attributed
to rationing during World
War II, though no one at
Legion headquarters is
quite sure when or why
they spread to the Prairies.
Regardless, they make for a
fun reason to visit a Legion
in your hometown or while
on a road trip. Try your
luck—and support Alberta
veterans—at draws hosted
in Fort Saskatchewan, High
River and elsewhere in
Alberta. Head online to find
a Legion branch near you.
