What Could Canada Become?

September 28, 2026 | Opening Night Reception | 6-9pm, remarks at 7:00pm

Art, imagination, and one big question. Join us for opening night September 28 at NVRLND — what could this country still become?

The Public Arts Institute of Canada invites you to opening night of our next exhibition, held deliberately at NVRLND: a space that asks what Canada could look like if we let ourselves imagine it.

Multiple Calgarian artists have responded to the question at the heart of this series — what does Canada mean to you? — through the lens of possibility and the future we are building together. Canada is not finished. Neither are you.

But this isn't just something you watch. Interactive survey stations invite you to weigh in, and your responses join a growing national dataset — part of the largest open conversation about Canadian identity ever assembled.

Come for the art. Stay for the conversation. Leave something behind.

Doors 6:00–9:00 PM, remarks at 7:00. Please eat beforehand; light refreshments will be served.
