Artist living estate sale ...

This July 3rd through 6th, artist Larissa McLean is holding a huge 'living estate' sale in order to raise funds for her new AQUILA Print Studio in High River, opening this August. Proceeds from the sale will help the High River community via art therapy at the studio, and pave the way for artist residencies there in the future to let others hone their printmaking skills in Southern Alberta.

Much of Larissa's personal art collection, featuring pieces collected from around the world, is up for sale -- well over 300 pieces, ranging from prints to etchings to paintings. As well, Larissa's own works will be for sale, and works from recently-deceased Calgary/Turner Valley artist Will Magee.

As well, funky clothing, antiques and even some of her husband Russ' music gear (synths and more!) and vintage 80's computer equipment will be on the block.
