Written by Arts Commons | Jan 17, 2024 10:45:46 PM

Chinook Blast is back in 2024! From February 2-19, downtown Calgary is getting taken over with wintery art installations, performances, plays, sports, and more. And Arts Commons Presents is getting in on the action.

On February 9 & 10 at 7:00 p.m., Arts Commons is giving Olympic Plaza a FREE 45-minute blast of udderly  joyful, spontaneous, and exciting performances to get you moo-ving. From the Chinook Blast mainstage, our hosts - visual artists Anthony Russell and CHISH - will wrangle an art explosion from spoken word performer Priscille Bukasa and brass band phenomenon Cowtown. Accompanied by an onstage DJ, Chinook Blast at Arts Commons will give you the boost of energy you need to keep on skating, exploring or art-going for the rest of the night!
