Chinook Blast 2025 is Calgary’s winter festival celebration. As we gear up for another exciting event in 2025, we’re on the lookout for creative talent and dynamic partners to help bring the festival to life!
Calling All Installation and Visual Artists
Sculptors, visual artists, and creators of immersive experiences are invited to showcase how their art can transform the festival grounds into a mesmerizing winter wonderland. Funding opportunities are available, ranging from $5,000 to $40,000 for chosen installations. Additionally, in collaboration with The City of Calgary’s Winter City Design Competition, up to $45,000 will be awarded for two installations designed to endure three months of winter weather from January to March without requiring security.
Calling All Market Partners
We’re seeking three dynamic partners to host and execute a weekend market (Friday to Sunday) during Chinook Blast. These markets should offer unique experiences, where attendees can explore and celebrate different cultures, discover local artisans, and participate in meaningful community engagement.
