A formal ribbon-cutting will launch a weekend of free events next month, when Lethbridge becomes a “flagship” for Arts Days celebrations across Alberta.
The city’s nationally recognized Southern Alberta Art Gallery will host the Sept. 17 kickoff event. Lindsay Blackett, the province’s minister of culture and community spirit, will help cut the ribbon as the upgraded gallery reopens after a year of construction.
Dozens of “ArtWalk” displays will also open that day and Saturday, while entertainment will be staged Saturday afternoon, evening and Sunday. Details of the expanded program were unveiled Monday during a briefing at city hall.

Most people would say you shouldn’t live in the past. Mary Lynn Muhly isn’t one of those people.
“I always thought it would be cool to live in the ’50s,” said Muhly, who decorated the lower level of her year-old home in the theme of a 1950s diner. The walls are robin-egg blue, the floor is checkered with black and white parquet tiles, and it’s furnished in elaborate detail with a boomerang-shaped, chrome-framed table and matching chairs, innumerable collectibles, and even an old pay phone. A colourful jukebox belts out hits from the ’50s.
Muhly’s home in Fairview — a neighbourhood just outside city limits east of 43 Street — was one of four in the area on display to the public Sunday during the ninth annual McKillop Tour of Lethbridge Homes. The event is a fundraiser for McKillop United Church.

Local skateboarding enthusiasts are to appeal to city council Monday for improved civic skate facilities.
A delegation from the Lethbridge Skateboard Association is scheduled to address council members to discuss safety concerns and other shortcomings they see with the existing skate park, built 11 years ago in Dave Elton Park along the 700 block of Stafford Drive North.
The park is operated by the City of Lethbridge and is open to recreational users for free.
