AUArts students bring bold, original work to Brookfield Properties

AUArts is proud to continue our creative partnership with Brookfield Properties, connecting student artists with new audiences in the heart of downtown Calgary. 

Each month, Brookfield showcases student artwork on digital screens throughout their properties — from lobbies to elevators to shared spaces — offering a fresh and unexpected encounter with emerging talent. The program is a dynamic way for students to share their work beyond the walls of the University and contribute to Calgary’s thriving creative culture.
