SUMMARY:Introducing: Philip Kanwischer & Tayler Schenkeveld
DESCRIPTION:INTRODUCING is Christine Klassen Gallery’s ongoing exhibition series dedicated to presenting artists newly joining the gallery roster.  \nThis year’s edition welcomes two additional Calgary creatives\, photographer Philip Kanwischer and Métis artist Tayler Schenkeveld\, two distinct voices whose practices explore our relationship with place\, identity\, and the natural world. While their approaches differ\, both artists invite thoughtful reflection through work that is quietly powerful\, deeply personal\, and rooted in observation.  \nPresented alongside CHROMA\, INTRODUCING offers collectors and visitors the opportunity to discover artists at the beginning of their relationship with the gallery\, while experiencing their work in conversation with the broader summer exhibition.

SUMMARY:The Boneshaker feat. DJ BONESHAKER\, Cian Cocteau & JΔKΟB
DESCRIPTION:Where: Palomino Smokehouse and Social Club \nWhen: Wednesday July 22\, 2026 \nDoors: 9:00 p.m. \nAdmission: $10.00 \n \nNO JERK POLICY ALWAYS IN EFFECT! \nJΔKΟB has a passion for blending evocative sounds and avante-garde releases; all with a distinctly dark\, moody\, yet alluring atmosphere. Taking inspiration from the radical and rebellious origins of punk and electronic music and the dark music genres their union spawned\, he gravitates towards tracks with disco heavy rhythms\, reverb drenched snares\, sequence driven synths\, and brooding\, introspective lyrics. With a preference for all things analog\, he often chooses selections from his diverse collection of vinyl that spans the sub-genres of the gothic music canon. JΔKΟB’s eclectic sets can simultaneously evoke a nostalgic yearning for the past\, while igniting a burning desire for the future. \n \nBoneshaker \nAll vinyl classic DJ night of darkwave\, Goth\, Industrial old school favorites like: Идоли\, A Split Second\, A-ha\, Academy of Unrest\, Al Comet\, The Alarm\, Alien Sex Fiend\, All About Eve\, And Also the Trees\, Anne Clark\, Armageddon Dildos\, The Art Of Noise\, The Assembly\, Au Pairs\, The B-52’s\, and more.

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.

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.
