Art, imagination, and one big question. We return for opening night on September 28 at nvrlnd. Asking, what does Canada mean to me?
About this Event

Every Canadian alive right now is shaping this country. Not passively — actively. Through the choices we make, the communities we build, the conversations we have or avoid, and the Canada we hand to the people who come after us. This exhibition asks you to sit with that. Not as a wish, but as a decision.

20 Calgarian artists have responded to the question at the heart of this series - What does Canada Mean to Me? Their work lines these walls as a reminder: Canada is not finished. Neither are you.

But this show isn't just something you watch. It's something you contribute to. Woven throughout the exhibition are interactive survey stations where you'll be asked to weigh in — on what keeps you here, what you want Canada to look like in twenty years, what you'd change if you could, and what you'd protect at all costs. Your responses become part of a growing national dataset we're building across every city in this series. By the time the tour is complete, we aim to have over one million Canadian voices on record — the largest open conversation about Canadian identity ever assembled.

Come for the art. Stay for the conversation. Leave something behind.

Doors are open from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, with remarks beginning at 7:00. Please plan to eat dinner beforehand — light refreshments will be served.
