Well, look no further!
As we kick off our 3rd annual Mush Love, the exclusive opening reception is the premier event of our fab fungi festivities! This year’s exhibit features over 50 incredibly talented artists from all across the country in a multitude of styles, disciplines and approaches to our theme. This is the first opportunity to see the exhibition, mingle with other mushroom-minded enthusiasts and have first dibs on anything in the gallery that might catch your eye.
In addition to the fabulous array of fungi-featured artwork, Mush Love is proud to also offer guests a tasty spread of party-perfect bites and snacks, a licensed bar, performances, mushroom tarot readings, an assorted selection of artisan chocolate goodies, an outdoor chill area with fireside lounging and of course, some incredible live music to get you in the groove!

THE LOCATION
Nvrlnd Arts: Boutique
Mush Love takes place in Ramsay / Inglewood at The NVRLND Arts Foundation, a grassroots project for artists and the arts community. NVRLND’s mission is simple but ambitious: empower artists to build sustainable careers while challenging the traditional system of art. We couldn’t think of a better place to host our unique, creative endeavour!
The gallery portion of the event takes place in the “Boutique”, a colourful building on the corner of the block that boasts a sleek, modern 1200 sq. ft. footprint and a gorgeous, custom ceiling treatment unlike any other Calgary space. This gallery may seem small, however, the transformation it undergoes for Mush Love is simply spectacular.
Sunday’s market portion of the event has expanded to both the West & East side spaces of the main building. This expansion more than doubles our market footprint, allowing us to host twice as many talented artisans and provide some much-needed chill-out spaces for visiting guest. The best part yet, Bryan Faubert’s stunning YYC/LRT project, will sit as the backdrop to our entertainment and fungal festivities!
