Contemporary Calgary's free monthly evening returns with a special interactive art activation by Calgary artist Michelle Atkinson, who heat-presses limited-edition tote bags live from three original designs so visitors leave with a one-of-a-kind keepsake. The night kicks off Design Week Calgary with installations and activations throughout the gallery, including the flagship "Lost & Found" and an upcycling clothing-swap pop-up. Explore the current exhibitions, enjoy a curated bar with wine, craft beer, and non-alcoholic options, and take in an evening of art, design, and community. Free event — advance registration required.
