Mark your calendars for June 6 from 6–9 PM — Arts Commons is throwing an Art Party and everyone’s invited. This free evening event brings together Calgary’s vibrant arts scene in one of the city’s most iconic cultural spaces.
Meet the talented local artists and creatives behind the current Arts Commons Galleries exhibitions, including the RBC Emerging Visual Artists Program, Lightbox Studio, Ledge Gallery, Window Galleries, +15 Galleries, Micro Cinema, and +15 Soundscape. You’ll have the chance to chat with artists, hear their stories, and explore their work through a fully interactive tour across multiple gallery spaces.
But that’s just the beginning.
🎭 What’s Happening at the Art Party:
Interactive Art Tours: Explore the exhibitions and meet the artists behind them.
Art Market: Shop original work from local artist vendors.
Sticker-Making & Character Design: Create your own stickers with Rawry & Pohly.
Open Studios: Step into the creative spaces of resident artists.
Live Music: DJ Subliminal Rabbit spins in Centre Court.

Once the gallery portion winds down, the AFTER PARTY kicks off at 9 PM in the Engineered Air Theatre. Hosted by MC Little Chief, SCRATCH (Underground Arts + Culture Dance Party) brings DJ Friend & friends, specialty cocktails, and a dance floor that won’t quit. It’s the perfect way to close out a night bursting with energy and expression.
No RSVP needed — just show up and dive into a one-of-a-kind evening that celebrates the voices, stories, and talents that make Calgary’s arts scene shine.
