HOWDY Calgary… Look for Sculpture Artist Craig Bergsgaard at the Calgary Stampede!!
Beginning tomorrow, July 3rd, 2009, the Calgary Stampede will take place over the next 10 days in Alberta, Canada. The annual event is committed to preserving and promoting western heritage and values through their stampedes, concerts, Ag displays and their Fine Arts display, the Western Showcase.
It is at the Western Showcase that Craig Bergsgaard will have a temporary studio and will share his sculptures with visitors from around the world. This year Craig has something special for the Calgary Stampede…
‘Every year at the Calgary Stampede Rodeo, daring cowboys risk their necks to prevail over horses in their wildest state. Craig Bergsgard has created a special sculpture, Good Day Gone Bad, to commemorate these brave and crazy men.
This sculpture will only be available for sale until the end of the Stampede on July 13, 2009. After that, the mold will be retired forever.
Good Day depicts a wrangler and mustang struggling in the perennial battle between man and beast. Notice how the horse is staring the cowboy right in the eye with complete defiance. If you have ever seen this look you will remember it!’
The Western Showcase will feature hundreds exhibitors showcasing art, entertainment, presentations and exhibitions that depict the Western Lifestyle. This is a major part of the Calgary Stampede and not to be missed.
