containR 2025
Activating public spaces with art made for gathering.
containR Season 2025 LAUNCHED!
Every year containR hosts change-making, accessible arts programming made for gathering. Having travelled to many communities of Calgary, containR is a pop-up art park structured with upcycled shipping containers that is designed, developed and curated by Springboard Performance.
This is our last season at our current Sunnyside location, with TWO new locations in the works for the future! We will update our community with a special announcement when the time is right, but in the meantime...
Meet us at containR! ~ The arts and culture hub for people of all identities and ages who champion local artists, creative ideas and our human need to come together.
Check out this year's events and opportunities below!
