Don Amero’s Amero Little Christmas w/ Jordan St. Cyr and Desiree Dorian
December 21   l Doors 7:15 pm | Show 8:00 pm
Tickets: $15 Advance | $20 Door  at the West End Cultural Centre, Ticketmaster,

Winnipeg Folk Festival Music Store and Music Trader

Don Amero’s love for the holidays continues to grow along with his “Amero Little Christmas” concert. Winnipeg roots rocker Jordan St. Cyr and country crooner Desiree Dorian guest star.

We all know there’s something magical about Christmas and my hope is to capture some of that and put it into a show explains Don Amero.
The biggest component for Amero Little Christmas is to raise awareness and funds for a local charity.  2013 has been a highlight year for Amero as he was nominated for both a Juno as well as a Canadian Folk Music Award and won a WCMA.

RAW:Gallery - David Spriggs - Blue

Closing December 21st, 2013

Canadian/UK artist David Spriggs examines the particular symbolic, perceptual, social, political, and historical connotations of colour. These installations draw attention to the contrast between delineated space and the ephemeral form. Blue imagines new concepts of hue in space, manifesting the colour as a graspable physical object. The layering method employed has elements of both painting and sculpture. 

RAW:Gallery membership benefits: e-newsletter, 10% off the books, discounts at exchange businesses and advanced notice and ticket sales.
