Public Art for Sustainable Futures Closing Celebration

Join us on Friday, September 26, 2025 at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary Nature Centre to wrap up Calgary Arts Development’s Public Art for Sustainable Futures Residency

Since June 2025, eight local artists have been exploring how public art can respond to climate change. The artists participated in land-based learning (read the field trip blog post), research and engaging discussions with a group of mentors, experts and traditional knowledge keepers. The closing celebration will feature reflections from artists and mentors, hands-on activities, and community resources to take home.

This free, family-friendly gathering includes refreshments and outdoor programming — come prepared to enjoy the trails.

Artists included AUArts community members Bomi Yook (BFA ’22, Media Arts), Justin Seiji Waddell (Associate Professor, Drawing) and Mia Rushton (BFA '03, Print Media).
