Calgary, AB – October 19, 2024 – Calgary-based artist Mike Paget is proud to announce the release of his highly anticipated new book, No Schedule Saturday - Paintings of Calgary Parks. This beautifully curated collection showcases Paget’s love for the city’s vibrant landscapes, featuring over 160 pages of paintings and writing that capture the spirit and tranquility of Calgary’s parks.
No Schedule Saturday reflects Paget’s decades-long relationship with Calgary, drawing inspiration from leisurely weekends spent exploring the natural beauty found within the city’s boundaries. From the peaceful shores of Glenmore Reservoir to the lush pathways of Fish Creek Provincial Park, Paget’s expressive style and eye for detail invite readers to experience Calgary through an artist’s perspective.
“Calgary’s parks are more than just green spaces. They are places of respite, creativity, and community,” says Paget. “In No Schedule Saturday, I wanted to capture those quiet moments we sometimes overlook but that mean so much to our everyday lives in this city.”
Paget’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, and he has received support in the past from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. His latest project, No Schedule Saturday, combines his artistic vision with a deep personal connection to Calgary’s outdoor spaces.
