"We All Just Want a Place in This World" by Rich Theroux (October-November 2016)

Rich Theroux is a Calgary artist who is always striving to make meaningful connections with the world around him. The two gentlemen in this painting live on the same street as Rich's Art Gallery and Studio Rumble House.  Sometimes rowdy and even intimidating, it took Rich and his compassion to see past their rough exteriors and into the heart of what it is to be human.  

Rich started GORILLA House and RUMBLE HOUSE, both places where everyone is welcome.  

"This is the power of art.  Be curious and open to the world around you.  Use your actions to draw people closer together."
​-Rich Theroux
