SUMMARY:Introducing: Philip Kanwischer & Tayler Schenkeveld
DESCRIPTION:INTRODUCING is Christine Klassen Gallery’s ongoing exhibition series dedicated to presenting artists newly joining the gallery roster.  \nThis year’s edition welcomes two additional Calgary creatives\, photographer Philip Kanwischer and Métis artist Tayler Schenkeveld\, two distinct voices whose practices explore our relationship with place\, identity\, and the natural world. While their approaches differ\, both artists invite thoughtful reflection through work that is quietly powerful\, deeply personal\, and rooted in observation.  \nPresented alongside CHROMA\, INTRODUCING offers collectors and visitors the opportunity to discover artists at the beginning of their relationship with the gallery\, while experiencing their work in conversation with the broader summer exhibition.

SUMMARY:2026 BUMP Festival
DESCRIPTION:BUMP 2026 HAS LANDED \nOf Simmering\, and the Surge \nWhat began in 2017 as a mural festival has grown into one of Canada’s most ambitious public art organizations\, transforming Calgary into an open-air gallery while expanding into sculpture\, music\, film\, education\, conferences\, and year-round cultural programming. As we celebrate this milestone year\, we remain committed to a simple belief: BUMP is for the people. \nThis year’s theme\, Of Simmering\, and the Surge\, asks us to consider how change takes form\, both slowly and explosively. How do we respond to the forces that shape our world\, at both the intimate and systemic level? What are the ideas\, noise\, gestures\, and resistances that gather in the margins\, in undergrounds\, in small rooms\, in fleeting conversations? And how do these moments accumulate\, building pressure until they break through into the larger public sphere? \nThroughout August and beyond\, you’ll encounter an extraordinary collection of local\, national\, and international artists creating new public works across Calgary. From large-scale murals to the inaugural BUMP Public Sculpture Program\, this year’s festival asks how public art can become more than something we simply look at. How can it become a portal into new ways of thinking\, gathering\, and imagining our shared future? \nFor the first time in BUMP’s history\, we’ve invited guest curators to help shape the artistic direction of the festival. We are honoured to welcome Ken Lum\, one of Canada’s most influential voices in contemporary public art\, Marigold Santos\, whose multidisciplinary practice has profoundly shaped artistic conversations in Calgary and beyond\, and Said Dokins\, an internationally celebrated artist from Mexico City whose work examines language\, memory\, and public space. They have assembled a remarkable group of artists whose practices reflect the diversity\, complexity\, and ambition of contemporary public art today. \nThis year also marks the third BUMP Urban Art Conference\, taking place August 13-15 at Contemporary Calgary. Over three days\, artists\, writers\, musicians\, journalists\, architects\, curators\, and cultural leaders from around the world will come together to explore the ideas shaping public life today. Through keynote talks\, panel discussions\, and conversations\, the conference extends the questions raised on our walls into broader discussions about cities\, culture\, identity\, ecology\, technology\, and the future of public space. \nWhether you’re discovering BUMP for the first time or have been with us since the beginning\, we invite you to experience the city differently this August. \nWe’ll be announcing details for our 2026 Festival Finale in the coming weeks\, along with additional public programming and events taking place throughout the festival. \nThank you for being part of BUMP’s first ten years. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.

SUMMARY:Liner Notes: Inside the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio — 'Machine Head'
DESCRIPTION:Liner Notes: Inside the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio is part storytelling tour\, part listening session\, exploring the legendary albums recorded in the “Sistine Chapel of rock ‘n’ roll.” Step back in time and experience Machine Head as it was recorded through the RSM. \nConceived by Rolling Stones tour manager Ian Stewart and built in 1968\, the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio (RSM) helped redefine how—and where—albums could be made. For this session\, we turn to Machine Head by Deep Purple\, a landmark album born out of disruption\, famously recorded in Montreux after a fire at the casino forced the band to improvise its recording setup. That moment of chaos became legend in “Smoke on the Water\,” which directly references the Mobile Studio parked outside the burning venue and the band capturing ideas in real time as the scene unfolded. Across the record\, that intensity does not let up\, from the unstoppable momentum of “Highway Star” through to the explosive\, sprawling charge of “Space Truckin’.” It is a band completely dialed in\, pushing volume\, precision\, and urgency right to the edge.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop: Experimenting with Paper and Fabric
DESCRIPTION:This workshop expands the cyanotype process onto several kinds of paper and fabrics\, using the different materials to create different results. Using both botanical materials and photographic imagery\, participants will explore how light\, texture can create different results to your cyanotype prints.You will learn which fabrics and papers work best for cyanotype printing\, and which to avoid\, while being guided through the full process of preparing the surface\, arranging compositions\, exposing prints\, and developing final results. Through a series of small studies\, participants will build a collection of samples that highlight the unique qualities of cyanotype on cloth.After experimenting we will print a composition in a mini canvas bag\, that you can take home to store the samples we created. \nAll materials are included – but you can bring flowers and leaves!  No experience necessary.

SUMMARY:2026 BUMP Festival
DESCRIPTION:BUMP 2026 HAS LANDED \nOf Simmering\, and the Surge \nWhat began in 2017 as a mural festival has grown into one of Canada’s most ambitious public art organizations\, transforming Calgary into an open-air gallery while expanding into sculpture\, music\, film\, education\, conferences\, and year-round cultural programming. As we celebrate this milestone year\, we remain committed to a simple belief: BUMP is for the people. \nThis year’s theme\, Of Simmering\, and the Surge\, asks us to consider how change takes form\, both slowly and explosively. How do we respond to the forces that shape our world\, at both the intimate and systemic level? What are the ideas\, noise\, gestures\, and resistances that gather in the margins\, in undergrounds\, in small rooms\, in fleeting conversations? And how do these moments accumulate\, building pressure until they break through into the larger public sphere? \nThroughout August and beyond\, you’ll encounter an extraordinary collection of local\, national\, and international artists creating new public works across Calgary. From large-scale murals to the inaugural BUMP Public Sculpture Program\, this year’s festival asks how public art can become more than something we simply look at. How can it become a portal into new ways of thinking\, gathering\, and imagining our shared future? \nFor the first time in BUMP’s history\, we’ve invited guest curators to help shape the artistic direction of the festival. We are honoured to welcome Ken Lum\, one of Canada’s most influential voices in contemporary public art\, Marigold Santos\, whose multidisciplinary practice has profoundly shaped artistic conversations in Calgary and beyond\, and Said Dokins\, an internationally celebrated artist from Mexico City whose work examines language\, memory\, and public space. They have assembled a remarkable group of artists whose practices reflect the diversity\, complexity\, and ambition of contemporary public art today. \nThis year also marks the third BUMP Urban Art Conference\, taking place August 13-15 at Contemporary Calgary. Over three days\, artists\, writers\, musicians\, journalists\, architects\, curators\, and cultural leaders from around the world will come together to explore the ideas shaping public life today. Through keynote talks\, panel discussions\, and conversations\, the conference extends the questions raised on our walls into broader discussions about cities\, culture\, identity\, ecology\, technology\, and the future of public space. \nWhether you’re discovering BUMP for the first time or have been with us since the beginning\, we invite you to experience the city differently this August. \nWe’ll be announcing details for our 2026 Festival Finale in the coming weeks\, along with additional public programming and events taking place throughout the festival. \nThank you for being part of BUMP’s first ten years. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.

SUMMARY:CIBC Backbeat: Bow & Tell with James Watson
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturdays in PlayLab for a hands-on violin experience designed for young explorers and future musicians alike! Presented by Jubilee Arts in partnership with the National Music Centre\, and featuring live performances alongside guided instruction from professional violinists\, including musicians from the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra\, this interactive program invites children of all ages and skill levels to step into the world of music-making.  \nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vibration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely\, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.
