Organized by AGSC in partnership with the MJM&AG, Curator Heather Smith
The five piece band is best known for mixing
clawhammer banjo riffs with ambient synth, high
voltage guitar, fierce drums, and hauntingly sweet
vocal harmonies to produce a sound that has
been properly coined “Stoke Folk.” Shred Kelly is
turning banjo doubters into sweaty indie folk rock
believers on the dance floor, one town at a time.

Swift Current artist David Tuttle doesn’t fit the common pattern for art
production. Over the past 20 years, rather than following a single
path of art-making throughout his career, David moves simultaneously
between five very different series of art media and themes. This solo
exhibition lets us explore each theme enjoying the differences and

perhaps finding the connections.
Coffeehouse: Friday, March 20 at 7:30pm
Marco Calliari was born in Quebec, but he has
never strayed far from his Italian roots. Growing
up with his famiglia, he was surrounded by the
melodies of the opera. At age 14, he began to
follow a very different sound. After 15 years with
his band “Anonymus,” he began his solo career.
His music borders on what could be called world
music, jazz, poetic music.

David Tuttle: Pattern Forming
Marco Calliari
Exhibition: March 7 to April 26
Art Gallery of Swift Current
Swift Current artist David Tuttle doesn’t fit the common pattern for art
production. Over the past 20 years, rather than following a single
path of art-making throughout his career, David moves simultaneously
between five very different series of art media and themes. This solo
exhibition lets us explore each theme enjoying the differences and

perhaps finding the connections.
Coffeehouse: Friday, March 20 at 7:30pm
Marco Calliari was born in Quebec, but he has
never strayed far from his Italian roots. Growing
up with his famiglia, he was surrounded by the
melodies of the opera. At age 14, he began to
follow a very different sound. After 15 years with
his band “Anonymus,” he began his solo career.
His music borders on what could be called world
music, jazz, poetic music.
