Art Wall Launch Party: Como Se Dice Collective Takeover

We'll see you at the launch party for the new Group Art Exhibition by local Calgary artists at Cold Garden! Meet, greet, and share a beer or bevy with the talented artists from Como Se Dice!

These artists will have their work showcased at Cold Garden from September 10th - December 10th 2026. 

A little bit about this exhibition:

This is our 4th Art Wall “takeover” at Cold Garden where we have multiple artists from a singular collective or organization have their work exhibited to represent themselves and the collective as a whole.

Como Se Dice is a latiné(x) collective bringing Latin programming to Mohkinstsis centered on: identity, reconnection & reclamation.

They are our first collective presenting the work in a salon style, where 9 artists have work placed in different areas of the brewery as opposed to our historical individual artist with their own designated ‘Zone.’

Our 2025 Year End Art Sales Party (Donation of 10% from each exhibiting artist who sold a piece last year) was donated to Como Se Dice to recognize an amazing collective wanting to create low cost/free art programming for those who can’t afford it.

Marking September as their launch month is an exciting time, recognizing that it is also National Hispanic Heritage month until October 15th. See and click on the instagram accounts to lean more about the exhibiting artists below!

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, Cold Garden recognizes we work and play in Mohkinstsis (where the Bow River meets the Elbow River), which is now known as Calgary. We acknowledge our presence on Treaty 7 territory and give thanks to these sacred lands that continue to provide for us. We honour the original occupants of this Territory, being the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Confederacy, comprised of the Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika Nations; the Iyarhe Nakoda of the Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw Nations; and the Dene of the Tsuut’ina Nation, as well as the Metis Nation Region III.
