You can enjoy art at no cost, just like Vera at Irwin Chiropractic & Massage is. She added colour to the walls of her massage room with art by Simone Brown.
Email tammy@limelighter.ca if you would like to support local artists by providing a place to hang their art.

Village Brewery makes great tasty beer and they support the arts!
In 5 months, LimeLighter has had 5 art shows, in 3 different venues, spotlighting 25 artists, with 3 DJs, 8 musicians, and 1 spoken word poet creating great vibes. Thanks, to the awesome people who volunteered to help those shows run. The support is greatly appreciated. Together we can help artists thrive in this city and have a blast while doing it.
If you haven't been to a LimeLighter art show yet, come experience one and be inspired. Support your local artists and musicians and help give them a reason to stay in this city doing what they love. Let's keep Calgary vibrant and full of life.
