An electrifying celebration of art, history, and community in Downtown Calgary

We invite all Calgarians &amp; visitors to celebrate the launch of this electrifying celebration of art, history, and community. fireWORKS, created by Indigenous arts duo ARTICLE 11 (Tara Beagan and Andy Moro), celebrates the extremes of Mohkinstsis/Calgary’s seasons by bringing the thrumming heat of summer into the hopeful chill of spring.
