Curated by Genevieve Farrell, The Responsibility to Wonder is the current Northeast Mini Galleries exhibition, on view across 10 community locations in Calgary’s northeast until later this month.

Featuring 12 works by 10 local artists, the exhibition invites us to explore curiosity, connection, and the relationships that shape our communities through sculpture, painting, illustration, beadwork, and mosaic.

The exhibition also marks the debut of newly redesigned mini galleries by Vignettes, created to better showcase the artwork and bring a more welcoming presence to community spaces.

Featured artists include Chris Lukas Maier (@chrismaierart), Liss Febero and aloT of Poetry (@lissfebrero & @alot.of.poetry) and Michelle Dinunzio.

Please welcome these 8 fantastic artists to the 2026 ROAD WORKS program, who will make up our cohort of seventeen RW artists.

Across this year’s barriers, their practices drift between the surreal and the familiar, conjuring hybrid forms of wildlife, eccentric figures, and many new worlds begin to blur.

Artists featured in this carousel are:

!! ROAD WORKS 2026 IS HERE !!

Meet the new group of artists transforming Calgary’s streets into something stranger and more playful.

Across this year’s barriers, you’ll find artists whose worlds move between the surreal and the familiar, who discover new forms of wildlife through their art, create mysterious and eccentric figures, and form environments where the built and natural collapse into each other. These 17 local artists speak in visual languages that oscillate between precision and instinct, bringing to BUMP dreamlike landscapes, cartoon logics, fragmented narratives, and bold systems of pattern and colour that feel both intuitive and meticulously constructed. The 2026 Road Works cohort are:

WÂPOSHPYII / Ling Ho / Jiwoo Kim / Kip Monaghan / Sasha Terway / Claire Coutts / Rylie Landry / Sylvia Arthur / Emma Guido / Mike Kerr / Katherin Leivikov / Aly Tucker / Strom / Chris Lukas / Maier / Maya Corona / Ann Fu / Justin Beamish

Now in its 6th year with the City of Calgary, Road Works continues to platform emerging and established artists across the city through a medium that is functional, temporary, and for the public. In 2021 this began as a response to our shifting urban space and now has grown into a living archive where over 100 artists and 300+ barriers have been reimagined as sites of experimentation and possibility.

We’re excited to jump into these small portals created on jersey barriers that will soon be scattered across the city.
