But I suppose as long as the City is fueled by money and oil and puts a shelter over your head, it's good enough, right?

Actually I don't live in Calgary.
Not sure why crappy artists are thought to bring the city a unique identity.
You used Dubai as an example earlier and there is no grassroots artistic thinking there. Only the very lamentable money culture.
Not sure why everything that has to do with money and oil is automatically viewed as evil by many. Especially as it is often that same money and oil that is driving much of the artistic community and progress (as little as it may be in your mind) forward in the city and province.
