LOOK26 Gala: Off The Path

LOOK26 Gala: Off The Path
May 2, 2026

LOOK26 Gala: Off The Path, presented by MAWER, returns on May 2 for an unforgettable night of revelry. Brought to life by the talented minds of local artist duo DaveandJenn, Off The Path draws on their richly layered practice spanning painting, sculpture and moving image. Their work creates whimsical worlds filled with delight, enchantment and untamed life.

Embrace all things fantastical when you step into the gallery and find yourself transported to an otherworldly forest. Theatrical environments, dynamic lightscapes and layered projections reveal secret clearings and shadowy lairs. 

The evening follows LOOK’s signature cadence: the HOLT RENFREW VIP Dinner, a vibrant Cabaret, and the RYAN GREEN  After Party. The night features an exquisite dinner by CONCORDE ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, art activations, DJs, live performances, and the LOOK26 Art Auction supported by HEATHER EDWARDS. Tickets are available across all three tiers (18+ only), and each includes a one-year membership to Contemporary Calgary.

This years entertainment line-up is one you wont want to miss!

• TR/ST (Cabaret)– Juno-nominated electronic musician Robert Alfons, known for a magnetic blend of gritty darkwave and cinematic synth-pop.
• The Hacker (After Party) – A legendary French producer and architect of electroclash, delivering a sharp, high-energy masterclass in driving techno. 
• Hermitess  (Dinner & Cabaret) – A recent award-winner for her ethereal costume design and music, conjuring orchestral textures and pedal-driven magic. 
• DJ Hannah (after party) –  A beloved Calgary selector and CJSW host, specializing in hypnotic, story-driven sets that bridge the gap between house and disco.
• Dan Solo (cabaret & after party) – One of Calgary's most reliable tastemakers, bringing an effortless, sophisticated energy to the late-night dance floor. 

Whether you join us for the full night or slip in after dark, LOOK is your opportunity to support Contemporary Calgary and celebrate the magic of art and community.
