For the Fluid Fest, Calgary’s premiere art, contemporary performance and dance festival (and our sparkly petri dish of possibility) we sink into the interconnections between distinct local creative voices and artists coming our way across many kinds of borders.
For Fluid Fest 2025 we are seeking submissions from Alberta (Treaty 6 and 7) artists. We invite proposals for evening length and mixed-bill presentations as well as our infamous festival cabarets. We are also keen to know about developing site-specific and small scale venue projects for inclusion in season presentations.
Springboard Performance aims to feature many local artists that together celebrate the beautiful multiplicity of voices that is Alberta- from the wacky and experimental to the political and poignant, show us who you are and what you care about through your distinct artistic offering.
Priority to artists of underserved communities and those with a focus on community animation.
Fluid Fest 2025 will take place the last two weeks of October. Dates will be confirmed with contracted artists.

In 1891, Johanna Bonger, widow of Vincent van Gogh’s brother Theo, finds herself in possession of all of Vincent’s artwork–over 600 pieces. Though she is told to rid herself of the “worthless art”, she refuses, and passionately takes on the mission to bring Vincent’s work to the forefront of the art world. After Mourning – Before van Gogh follows Johanna on her tireless 35- year journey to give the work of van Gogh the attention it deserves.
