Calling All Installation/Visual Artists: Transform our Winter Landscape

Artists of all disciplines, this is your opportunity to leave your mark on Chinook Blast 2025! Whether you’re a sculptor, visual artist, or creator of immersive experiences, we want to see how your art can turn our festival grounds into a mesmerizing winter wonderland.

We’re looking for interactive installations that captivate, spark imagination, and bring vibrant color and wonder to the winter nights.

Funding opportunities are available, ranging from $5,000 to $40,000 for chosen installations. Additionally, we’ve teamed up with the City of Calgary’s Winter City Design Competition, offering up to $45,000 for two installations that can endure three months of winter weather from January to March without requiring security.

This is a great opportunity for artists to introduce public-friendly, winter-focused tactical urbanism designs that promote outdoor winter engagement in the community. Winning installations will be showcased in prime locations like throughout Greater Downtown during Chinook Blast.
