Calgary on Purpose

Calgary on Purpose

March 19 | 7:00-8:30 PM

Please join us for the first of the 2024 Calgary on Purpose + Contemporary Calgary "Evenings of Conversation and Connection."

We see kindness, curiosity and compassion as the shared core values of Calgarians. In that spirit, we delight in the skills, stories, aspirations and goodwill of our remarkable neighbours on this land. 

We begin with a few extraordinary creative Calgarians showing brief examples of their work, who the inimitable Dave Kelly will then interview. Following this, Dave will engage all of us in the audience in conversation. The program will finish by 8:30 PM but the bar will be open for those who wish to stay and chat further.

We take great pride in our presenters on March 19. Fast-rising pop star Kuzi Cee will bring his dancers and DJ, dancer and figure skater Meg Ohsada will join us fresh from her performance at the Special Olympics ( she won two silver medals for Canada at the Special Olympics in Korea) and Lee Crowchild, speaker, advisor and thought leader. Dave will then share a new "Dave Story" and engage all of us in conversation about our city.

Thanks to the generous support of Contemporary Calgary, volunteers and Calgary Arts Development, the event is free to the public. However, we kindly request that you RSVP to ensure your seat. Feel free to invite friends and colleagues, but please ask them to RSVP as well.

The intent of this evening is to stimulate curiosity about and appreciation for our neighbours on this land. Do join us in sharing and celebrating our concerns, hopes and dreams for our beloved city!
