Like many live, in-person events, Art Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­took a break in 2020 and 2021.

Now Western Canada's largest international art show is returning with a three-day event in the city's downtown. The event, which includes parties, live paintings, tours and classes, will run from May 5 to 8 at the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Convention Centre.

There are also less typical events, including a runway show one night (where artists walk the catwalk like fashion models but carry their artwork to show to the crowd) and an eight-way competition that's similar to a cooking game show, with a surprise box of supplies and an unknown theme.

A list of artists participating is online already; Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­is represented, along with artists from Ghana, Spain and Argentina.
