2025 Congress: Video excerpt online
Our 2025 Living a Creative Life Congress took place on Thursday, November 20, 2025 at the DJD Dance Centre. The theme of this year’s event was Inspiring Civic Participation through the Arts.
For the past two years, the Living a Creative Life Congress focused on art for social change. This year, in response to a call inviting artists to experiment with ways to inspire civic participation through the arts, five local artist collectives created innovative projects to encourage Calgarians to imagine the kind of city they want to live in and become more civically engaged.
Learn more about what happened with those projects by watching a video excerpt of the presentation and panel discussion from the event, featuring a review of the Creating our Calgary project and some tips for your own community-driven art practice.
