.
About Greg Gerla:
Greg Gerla (G1) is a commercial and fine art photographer. His work evokes a strong mood with attention to craft and style. He’s represented by several stock agencies and his work has been published world-wide. Greg has had several exhibitions of his fine art work locally, and abroad.
He was an instructor at The Alberta University of the Arts from 2004-2021, teaching in the Photography Department, Faculty of Visual Communications. Greg has served on the National Board of CAPIC (Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators) from 2002-2016.
He served as president of the Prairie Chapter of CAPIC from 2004-2007. Greg was also a member of the board for the Exposure Photography Festival from 2010-2019.
Greg gets around. He has photographed his journeys from Moscow to Los Angeles to Cuba to Hungary. He’s continually inspired by what’s outside his door, or across the continent.
About Greg Fulmes:
Greg Fulmes (G2) has spent the last three decades making images and teaching photography. Photography has taken him to four continents with more in his plans. His love of the people of the “third world” has meant many trips to Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala. The people draw him back, the need to help them re-claim their way of life from the influence of multi-national corporations a burning desire.
His work tends to be either stark black and white or highly saturated colour imagery. Although people are his passion, nothing is off-limits from his lens….he just loves making pictures. Whatever catches his eye is a potential image.
He has photographed Grey Cups, CEOs and the homeless. Food, wine, architechture. Rock stars, Hollywood actors and buskers and almost everything else.
Whatever the subject, creativity…making an image unlike any other…is the key both to
success and happiness.
He is represented by a stock agency and a pair of assignment services.

Supper Club No.7- From Damian, With Love | The Garret
May 1, 2025 (UTC-6)ENDED
Calgary
Town
in collaboration with
Charton Hobbs
and
Love, Damian are
pleased to present the seventh edition of Supper Club on Thursday May 1st at The Garret Loft. Featuring some of the very best talent in the industry, both locally and internationally;
Supper Club
is an intimate dinner experience like no other.
The evening features renowned chef Kyle Opel, owner of Love, Damian - the newest Italian pop-up in the heart of Downtown Calgary. Chef Opel has designed an exquisite four-course menu through the lens of top tier French cuisine training with simple and thoughtful ingredients inspired by Northern Italy. Pairings are procured through Charton Hobbs by Love, Damian Sommelier and co-owner Jason Exton.
Please note:
Modifications for allergies are possible. Please share your allergies or dietary restrictions
before
April 27th. Non-alcoholic pairings available. Please note your preferences at checkout.
About Chef Kyle Opel.
Chef Opel is a passionate and innovative chef with 13 years of experience in the culinary world. Throughout his culinary career he predominantly specialized in French cuisine, with a keen interest in gastronomic techniques and time spent training in Quebec, England and Western Canada. His firm belief that a powerful way to stay current in the culinary world is by revisiting traditional foods and infusing them with new life and creativity. Before opening his restaurant, Chef Opel served as the Chef de Cuisine at The Wilde on 27, where he had the privilege of working with Sommelier Jason Exton—an incredibly talented professional whose passion for wine is unmatched. Together, Jason and Kyle opened Love Damian in October 2024.
About Love, Damian Restaurant:
Named after his late father - Love, Damian is a pop-up restaurant concept that focuses on Northern Italy cuisine with a story.
From Chef Opel:
“My earliest memory of Italy is steeped in the charm of Bardi, a picturesque town nestled in the mountains of Nothern Italy in the Province of Parma. This enchanting place was my father’s favorite place on earth, and together we shared a deep love for its rich food and vibrant culture. Little did I know at the time, it was here that my passion for Italian cuisine truly began.
We wandered the cobblestone streets, delighting in fresh gelato and pastries, savoring a quick coffee or a cheeky beer. We would explore local markets, captivated by the sight of giant wheels of parmesan, often sneaking a taste. Picking sun-ripened tomatoes straight from the vine, sipping homemade limoncello, and enjoying exquisite Italian red wines at dinner, I discovered the magic of fresh ingredients—simple yet profound.
In sharing my family’s culinary heritage, I hope to honor my father’s memory and invite you to experience a taste of that love. The food and drink are an extension of our love as we invite you to dine as family.”
In loving memory of Damian Gerard Opel."
Charton Hobbs is the proud wine partner of Supper Club No. 7
For a century, Charton Hobbs has been cultivating the Canadian wine and spirits landscape. By partnering with international producers, leading retailers, and hospitality trade networks, we offer premium products and branded experiences to consumers across the country.
About Sommelier Jason Exton
Co-owner and Sommelier at Love Damian, Jason has spent what feels like a lifetime in restaurants, occasionally attempting a graceful exit, only to be lured back by the industry's chaotic charm.
Originally from Leeds, UK, he’s called Calgary home for almost 12 years, during which time he's explored various parts of the wine industry. A brief foray in retail confirmed his talents lay elsewhere, and so he quickly moved back into restaurants. Later, and another attempt at a quieter life, Jason took a detour at a small wine import agency - Boutique Wines, where, to his surprise, business thrived (turns out, good wine kinda sells itself).
Eventually though, the siren of the industry called him back, landing at The Wilde, where he met Chef Kyle Opel. It wasn’t long before he realised, with his calm demeanor, incredible skill and knowledge, and his all-round love for his craft, that this was a guy that he wanted to work with. "
And so, here we are at Love Damian, making a little bit of history, one plate and pour at a time."
About The Garret Loft:
Nestled in the heart of downtown, The Garret Loft often feels like entering into a space out of another city. Gently tucked above the hustle of Calgary's historic Stephen Avenue, one might feel as though they've just ecountered one of the more impressive and rare lofts that the city has to offer. Likened to the akin of what you'd expect to see in New York, Chicago, London or Paris, the space heavily delivers on that element of charm, ruggedness and homelike character.
Ticket prices include food & drink with additional beverage offerings made available to order.

Lucette with Brock Geiger | Festival Hall
May 2, 2025 (UTC-6)ENDED
Calgary
Presented by Calgary Folk Music Festival
The 2014 debut Black is the Color from Lucette, the stage moniker of Edmonton-born Lauren Gillis, unveiled a clever songwriter steeped in rustic roots/Americana traditions…with a tinge of spacey indie pop. It caught the ears of Sturgill Simpson, who produced her sophomore release Deluxe Hotel Room.
Lucette’s upcoming EP Nice Girl From the Suburbs (out March 21) was a collaborative creation over zoom with producer Soren Hansen (New Politics, Elle King, Sam Palladio). An intimately personal release, it expands Lucette’s musical repertoire with sonic inspirations from ‘90s dream pop and alt rock, pairing introspective lyrics with lush, anthemic production. It explores themes of lost love and self- awareness—often infused with self-deprecating humour—and the joy found in new love, with songs that reflect on being in a dark place plus the recognition that it’s kind of human to be your own worst enemy.
