New Public Art Series Launches on Billboards
All Together Now features works from the Calgary Public Art Collection
Now Touring: Public Art Billboards shines a spotlight on artwork from Calgary’s Public Art Collection by making it part of people’s daily commutes.
Starting in December 2023, selected works from the City of Calgary Public Art Collection that people don’t get to see on a regular basis are being featured on billboards across the city. The majority of these works are currently in storage and not on display to the public. Many of the billboards are located in parts of the city that are not home to permanent public art installations.
The second series of artworks from the collection, All Together Now, launches on billboards starting September 10, 2024 and shares stories of “togetherness” through art. These 10 artworks are curated by Ginger Carlson and will be on display through to the end of February 2025. The featured artists include: Zoe Dunning, Helena Hadala, Mary Spice Kerr, Roy Kiyooka, Douglas Motter, Marion Nicoll, Katie Ohe, Dr. Jane Ash Poitras, Wendy Toogood.
