Elephant Artist Relief  invited Calgary’s visual art community to take part in an extraordinary collaboration, and the community responded with a collection of original works in paint, textile, new media, performance art, sculpture and more. The result was the most exquisite creature ever to roam the streets of Calgary. 

This sprawling beast was sacrificed to the great art gods and auctioned off to raise awareness and funds for Elephant Artist Relief (E.A.R.)

Creature would not have been possible without the following artists. In order to breathe life into this wonderful monster collaboration every component that was contributed was crucial. E.A.R. and the Calgary arts community would like to thank the contributors.
