About this Event

The ASCN: Calgary Hub is thrilled to invite practitioners and enthusiasts to this workshop, which creates a space to connect and learn about Art for Social Change in Action.

Join us for the final workshop in our Blue Sky City series, a gathering that explores Calgary as a living, active place shaped by the energy and care we bring to it. Together, we’ll reflect on what connection means in our city and spend time noticing the hopes, fears, and possibilities we share as a community.

After a guided reflection, you’ll create a small art piece using your choice of materials – collage, stickers, paint, and more. You’ll then be invited to gift, hide, or intentionally place your piece somewhere in Calgary as a simple act of connection with someone you may never meet.

As we close this series, this workshop offers a gentle, hands-on way to contribute to a more connected city through small creative gestures. All materials are provided, and all are welcome.
