SUMMARY:Current // Process + Place
DESCRIPTION:Current is a new series of public art activations presented by The New Gallery (TNG)\, transforming the Bow River pathway into a flowing corridor of creativity. Connecting Calgary’s cultural landmarks and natural landscapes\, these activations merge art\, nature\, and community through installation\, performance\, and interactive projects. It invites audiences to experience the city through the rhythm of the river and the energy of downtown life. \nPresented by The New Gallery and supported by RISEUp Calgary\, Current runs through July 6 – 30th\, 2026. \nCurrent brings together the works and creative processes of Calgary artists through installation\, performance and socially engaged practice. At times ecological\, social and deeply rooted in process\, Current invites artists to slow down and work directly within the liminal space of the river’s edge\, the histories it holds\, its riparian habitat\, transition to the urban environment\, and the material relations both carried and deposited. \nArtist participation is site-specific\, and interventions are simultaneously temporary\, time-based and socially engaged. Current merges an outdoor exhibition program with musical and movement-based performance\, installation\, sound\, participatory workshops and facilitated interdisciplinary tours.

SUMMARY:Art as a Language by Adrian Stimson
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore a powerful public artwork by Siksiká Nation artist Adrian Stimson that celebrates Indigenous storytelling and culture. \nJoin Jasmine MacGregor as she presents Art as Language\, a powerful public artwork by Siksiká Nation artist Adrian Stimson that explores the connection between Indigenous language\, culture\, and identity. Inspired by traditional Blackfoot pictographs\, winter counts\, ledger drawings\, and petroglyphs\, the installation transforms symbolic storytelling into a three-dimensional experience using steel and aluminum forms. Created in consultation with Blackfoot knowledge keepers\, the work reflects the histories and territories of Mohkínsstsisi (Calgary). Through the interaction of wall and floor elements\, Stimson invites viewers to experience an Indigenous way of communicating\, where language is physical\, visual\, and deeply connected to memory\, resilience\, and community.  \nThis event is repeated on Tuesday\, July 28.
