The 2024 Living a Creative Life Congress focuses once again on Art for Social Change and continues to probe the question: How might artists lead the way to a more equitable, inclusive, and accessible city where everyone belongs? This year we are exploring that question through the lens of our city’s new branding Blue Sky City as we look at ways Calgary can live up to the promise and potential of truly being a blue-sky city.
Get inspired, hear about some of the amazing work being done by Calgary artists, exchange ideas, enjoy good food and possibly find new collaborators for future projects. If that’s not enough, we invite you to enjoy some good food as well!
