Contemporary Calgary’s LOOK26 Gala: Off The Path
Don’t miss out on Contemporary Calgary’s most anticipated annual celebration of contemporary art, The LOOK26 Gala: Off The Path and Art Auction! This is the perfect opportunity to support artists and Contemporary Calgary while building your art collection.
Brought to life by the talented minds of 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.
The silent auction closes at 12:00 a.m. on May 3, 2026. Bidding for the silent auction occurs online only, via Contemporary Calgary’s website. The live auction begins on May 2 at 8:00 p.m. in the Dome Theatre. Limited tickets are still available!

We encourage you to bid early and often to secure your favourite work. For more information and tickets visit their website.
We hope to see you tomorrow for this special event to support Contemporary Calgary and the artists!
