Free First Thursday

August 7
5-9 PM

Join us at Contemporary Calgary for Free First Thursday, featuring Re:frame, a special event presented by d.talks and MODE Models to kick off Design Week Calgary.

As part of Re:frame, watch emerging local designers in action during a live upcycling workshop—and get inspired to customize your own tote bag with hands-on techniques like embroidery, beading, or printing. No experience necessary, and all materials are provided.

Enjoy free admission from 5–9 PM alongside a lively DJ set, a curated bar with wine, craft beer, and non-alcoholic options, plus a sweet stop at the Foothills Creamery ice cream pop-up.

Wander through our current exhibitions, take part in creative activations, and connect with community through contemporary art. All ages welcome.

Art for All – FREE with registration.
