The Guru Digital Arts College celebrated their annual “Gala Guru” at the Art Gallery of Alberta. However, this year was even more auspicious than most as the college was “celebrating a digital decade” milestone anniversary.

As guests walked into the art gallery, they were welcomed by enthusiastic students at a reception table which took their tickets. Most prominent on this table were large white 3D letters that stood along the leading edge and read “GURU X.” Laying on the table were a dozen or more cards arranged in a sort of mini-art show with names such as “Gala Cow”, “Paralyzed in Space”, “Witch Painting”, and “Giraffe Love.” These cards, along with other art and installations around the room were all amazing works of the talent students from the Guru Digital Arts College.

The room itself was furnished with cocktail tables and modern and stylish chairs and couches perfect for more relaxed socializing and networking. Alumni and current student’s works could be found around the hall including some interesting works in two corners involving light and projections. Above them, two large abstract woodcut-like prints (on vinyl?) occupied the north and west walls.

Arts always bring people energy and passion. Even late into the evening, the were always new faces arriving to partake in the show. The night was a delightful mix of dancing and mingling, eating and drinking, and taking goofy pictures in our photobooth.

Thank you very much for asking Flashworks Photobooth to ring in the start of your next digital decade!
