This year, Calgary Arts Development worked with the Marda Loop Business Improvement Area to test a new approach to the Utility Box Program. Curated by Stacey Watson and featuring artworks by local artist Tayler Schenkeveld, the pilot project included 13 utility boxes in the Marda Loop community. Guided by her curatorial vision for the project and the community it served, Stacey selected the artist and supported her throughout the research, engagement and concept development process. Completed in fall 2025, the pilot will inform the program’s new direction for 2026.
