Northern Reflections Window Exhibition

Window magic filters throughout Calgary for a third year of immersive art

By: Amy Jo Espetveidt

Be sure to join Buds Collective this holiday season for the opportunity to engage with an amazing and unexpected immersive art experience.

The Northern Reflections Window Exhibition turns Calgary into an interactive urban art-walk for its third year. With just a smartphone and the free app AUGLE, you can bring each window to life and see the augmented reality hidden within.

Calgary Arts Development sponsored local artist and animator Mike Hooves to create one part of this unique and engaging experience. Swing by Crabapple Clothing Company (3526 Garrison Gate SW) before December 31, 2019 to see the piece.

Other stops include windows at the Cococo Chocolatiers, Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, Elveden Centre, Casa La Villita Puerto Vallarta, and East Village Calgary. Bring a loved one and a hot beverage to tour the exhibition and you’ve got a perfect way to celebrate the winter season.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Metis Nations 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit peoples from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.
