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: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:Little Mermaid
DESCRIPTION:FlipSide Theatre\, in association with Philippine Festival Council of Alberta (PFCA) and Forte Musical Theatre\, presents Little Mermaid. \nLittle Mermaid is a bold new musical adaptation of the beloved Hans Christian Andersen tale. Featuring a book by acclaimed playwrights Jaime del Mundo and Luna Griño-Inocian\, with music by Broadway performer Lito Villareal\, this reimagined production plunges audiences into a world of wonder\, magic\, and sacrifice beneath the sea. \nAt the heart of the story is Jewel\, a fierce and spirited young mermaid who longs for a life beyond the ocean’s depths. On her sixteenth birthday\, she encounters Christian\, a human prince from a distant land\, and becomes captivated by the world he represents. But when the cunning sea witch Crustacea learns of Jewel’s forbidden dream\, she strikes a dangerous bargain: Jewel’s voice in exchange for human legs. With only three days to make Christian fall in love with her\, Jewel must risk everything—or lose her voice forever and be banished from the sea she once called home. \nBrought to life through dazzling costumes\, inventive puppetry\, soaring music\, and performances by some of the most exciting emerging Filipino musical theatre artists today\, Little Mermaid promises a theatrical experience filled with heart\, spectacle\, and unforgettable magic.
