More about BUMP
Launched in 2017 as the Beltline Urban Murals Project, BUMP Festival has evolved into Calgary’s most expansive public art initiative, reshaping neighborhoods with cutting-edge installations and progressive public programming. Artist-led and community-powered, BUMP pioneers a new vision for Calgary’s urban spaces, positioning public art as a catalyst for cultural transformation and collective imagination.
Annually, a jury of diverse perspectives selects local, national, and international artists to bring new works to life through muralism, graffiti, and unique installations, creating a dynamic visual landscape across the city. In 2024, BUMP commissioned 83 unique artworks, expanding our impact to over 360 installations that weave narratives of place, identity, and possibility into Calgary’s public realm.
