Free First Thursday

Join Contemporary Calgary for an evening that reframes aging as a source of creativity, connection, and possibility. Presented in partnership with Springboard Performance as part of Fluid Fest, this event invites you into a night of movement, conversation, and shared experience. Throughout the building, professional elder dancers and community participants create unexpected encounters that respond to the architecture and artworks. You can experience Tai Chi, seated ballet, and various performances, or simply move through the space and engage with the artists. The gallery becomes a place where age is embodied and celebrated. ✨ Professional elder dancers and community participants 🎨 Creative art activation exploring memory and connection 📍 Contemporary Calgary
