The Okotoks Art Gallery wants to expand it's talent bank, as they continue their weekly summer event series on their front lawn.

Art On The Lawn is looking for open mic hosts every Thursday night for the rest of the summer months.

Culture and Heritage Manager for the Town of Okotoks, Allan Boss says there's plenty of talented artists in Okotoks and the art gallery would like to showcase them.

"Its a great opportunity for somebody who wants to do some MCing, knows some other people and I'd love to see a bunch of people coming out here and performing every Thursday night at the art gallery."

Boss adds that Art On The Lawn is still the place to see talent displayed on a local stage.

"What I'm hoping to find, are people that are interested in coming up, playing a tune, introducing some other people, and its a good opportunity for somebody."

He says the MCing aspect is a great way to meet new people.

"We're looking for people to come up and share their talent," he says. "This can be even things like poetry readings, its just an open mic for people to come and entertain the people that are here at the market."
