FREE FIRST THURSDAY
Enjoy free admission to Contemporary Calgary on the first Thursday of each month from 5 pm to 9 PM!*
We stay open late and offer a rotating slate of entertainers, vendors, and activities — along with free popcorn and a paid concession. You can visit our exhibitions, watch a performance, or make something at our drop-in art-making session. We often partner with other organizations to help animate the space, so each event is a special experience. Be sure to follow us on Instagram to find out all the details.
