NOA is set to start its 12th year. What I hope people get from NOA is that "art isn't scary" and that all should enjoy it. FLOCK TO THE GALLERIES!!! Too many people are scared to go into galleries with no need to be. Edmonton has a plethora of galleries to enjoy. Edmonton could use even more. If NOA can bring art out to the people so that people go INTO the galleries more frequently then I am HAPPY!!
