Tip Your Hat to Dreams 2013

 

It all started in 2009 with Reg Knelson, back when he was a resident of the Calgary Drop-In Centre and one of the original This is My City (TMC) workshop participants. His idea — to have artists create artworks out of cowboy hats that would be sold to the public — captured what TMC is all about. Tip Your Hat invites diverse artists to make works of art that express unique stories and uses them to then engage a broad spectrum of people in dialogue. As the hats are bought, worn, and displayed, they continue to tell their stories in even wider circles. In addition, the funds raised through sales help support TMC programming and the cycle of building a more inclusive community continues.

Our annual fundraiser Tip Your Hat, originally scheduled for June 22, 2013, could not be held due to the flood. 

Out of respect for many new and much needed initiatives to raise funds for flood relief, Tip Your Hat is postponed indefinitely. Discussions for alternate arrangements are underway.
