First Thursday April 2

Join us for First Thursday April 2 from 5-9 pm, with live music by DJ Rice, a magazine launch, artist demonstrations, exhibition openings and much more! Admission is free.

DJ Rice, that name sounds familiar. Well it should. DJ Rice has been pumping out sweet sounds to dedicated listeners since 1989. During these nearly 2 decades, the style of music DJ Rice has expressed has gone through various changes. DJ Rice has played everything from R & B, Funk, Hip-hop, pioneering a Techno rave scene in Calgary, to finally spinning his true love, House music. Playing from 6-9 pm.
