Contemporary Calgary: Entwined Exhibit Tour

Join us for a guided student tour of Entwined, a large group exhibition taking over several spaces inside Contemporary Calgary’s iconic building from December 5, 2025 to March 15, 2026. Featuring work by nineteen artists and collectives from the Prairies and beyond, Entwined invites students to dig into big questions about our relationship with the land, ecosystems, and all forms of life.

Highlights include Carrie Allison’s beaded tree rings honouring forests lost to development, Adrian Stimson’s baby bumblebee regalia celebrating tradition…
