Youth Singers of Calgary (YSC) is celebrating four decades of inspiring performers. To commemorate this occasion, YSC is hosting Spotlight YSC, a free one-day community celebration on Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre. Discover the history of the Youth Singers throughout the decades.
Our 2025/26 season opens with Mexicana Ensemble led by celebrated singer Gisela Romero. A deeply personal and vibrant musical journey into the singer herself, this project pays homage to her roots by fusing the traditions of Mexican and Latin American folk music with contemporary jazz, flamenco, salsa, and huapango elements.
The CAAF Studio Residency is offered by the Calgary Allied Art Foundation (CAAF). CAAF’s aim is to support emerging artists to reach their full potential. By providing space and funding, the CAAF Studio Residency enables emerging artists to further explore their creative practice and take advantage of future exhibition opportunities that CAAF can provide. Artists are also encouraged to share their process and engage with the community during their residencies.

Our artists are busy getting ready for the holiday season creating art of all kinds. At the Salon you will find paintings, fibre art, hand pulled prints, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, drawing, glass work and more!
What makes the Salon different from other sales?
At the Wildflower Art Salon & Sale you will be immersed with art in every direction. Our artists work is mixed together throughout the space versus individual artist tables. This set-up catches your eye in different ways and allows your brain to slow down and look more specifically at each piece. We cannot wait to have you over to see what we are working on.
Join us for another great sale on Sunday December 7, 2025 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Wildflower Arts Centre.

Be a Part of Entwined!
Contemporary Calgary is seeking enthusiastic exhibition volunteers to support our upcoming group exhibition, Entwined.
Entwined brings together Canadian artists from Alberta, the Prairies, and beyond to explore our relationship with the land and all living beings. Working across various materials and media, the artists featured in this exhibition reflect on urgent ecological issues and the interconnectedness of all species. Drawing from traditional knowledge, mythology, science, and imagination, the exhibition calls for a shift away from human-centered thinking toward a deeper sense of kinship, responsibility, and care for the natural world.
What will your role involve?
As an Exhibition Volunteer, you will play a key role in enhancing the visitor experience. You will assist visitors by engaging them in conversations about the artworks, helping them connect with the exhibition, and answering general questions. Your responsibilities will also include offering friendly guidance—such as clarifying which works are interactive and which are for viewing only—ensuring a welcoming atmosphere, and providing support as needed throughout the space.
What are the requirements?
We ask for volunteers to commit to at least one shift per week from December through March. Shifts are available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 12-7 PM, and Sundays from 12-5 PM.
If you’re interested in volunteering, please submit your interest here by Sunday, November 16, 2025.
If you have any questions about this volunteer position, please reach out to Beth Kane Manager, Visitor Experience at beth@contemporarycalgary.com and Sabine Levesque at sabine@contemporarycalgary.com
