Join us for a powerful panel discussion on Belonging, followed by an Exhibiting Artists’ Reception where you can experience the artwork, meet the artists and connect with Calgary’s creative community.

Belonging can be a feeling, a place, a community, a memory, or something we’re still trying to find. Join us for an honest and inspiring panel discussion exploring belonging through art, identity, culture and lived experience.
