SUMMARY:Game Night: Parallel Play with Shea Iles
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $0-$25\, please register. \nDuring his performances/workshop/hang session\, Shea Iles invites folks from the audience to join him on stage to play a solo card game while he improvises on guitar alongside them. (If you don’t know any solitaire games\, that’s okay — Shea will teach everyone a really easy one at the start so that anyone can have a turn.) This is a kind of collaboration he has come to really enjoy: two people doing their own thing\, side by side\, connected only by circumstance. Shea will also talk about why he loves games\, what he thinks they can do\, and how he’s working to integrate them into his artistic practice. \n This is part of the HOME residency in July/August 2026 and gratefully funded by Calgary Arts Development.

SUMMARY:Chandler Billinghurst
DESCRIPTION:Chandler Billinghurst is a comedian with the kind of name that sounds like he should either own a vineyard or get heckled at one. He brings sharp observations\, quick turns\, and just enough charm to make terrible life choices seem relatable. On stage\, Chandler mixes wit and honesty\, finding the funny in everyday chaos\, awkward moments\, and the general confusion of being alive. He’s proof that sometimes the best way to survive adulthood is to laugh at it first. \nOn stage\, Chandler mixes wit and honesty\, finding the funny in everyday chaos\, awkward moments\, and the general confusion of being alive.

SUMMARY:Current // Process + Place
DESCRIPTION:Current is a new series of public art activations presented by The New Gallery (TNG)\, transforming the Bow River pathway into a flowing corridor of creativity. Connecting Calgary’s cultural landmarks and natural landscapes\, these activations merge art\, nature\, and community through installation\, performance\, and interactive projects. It invites audiences to experience the city through the rhythm of the river and the energy of downtown life. \nPresented by The New Gallery and supported by RISEUp Calgary\, Current runs through July 6 – 30th\, 2026. \nCurrent brings together the works and creative processes of Calgary artists through installation\, performance and socially engaged practice. At times ecological\, social and deeply rooted in process\, Current invites artists to slow down and work directly within the liminal space of the river’s edge\, the histories it holds\, its riparian habitat\, transition to the urban environment\, and the material relations both carried and deposited. \nArtist participation is site-specific\, and interventions are simultaneously temporary\, time-based and socially engaged. Current merges an outdoor exhibition program with musical and movement-based performance\, installation\, sound\, participatory workshops and facilitated interdisciplinary tours.
