Hosted by the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good’s Mental Health Research Action Team, our Civic Roundtable is an invitation for Calgarians to talk about what makes their community look and feel like a benefit to their wellbeing.
Through our partnership with Branch Out Neurological Foundation, we present a research and artist panel discussion around their experiences supporting “Your Brain on Art”.
We are grateful for our Indigenous partners, who are leading 2 very special ceremonies on Sunday, August 14 that empower you to be a part of a healing community experience.

To showcase local artists, arts, and culture we have partnered with various Calgary artists, organizations, and community members.
We are finalizing our performer roster for the performance gala on Friday, August 12. Do you have a community champion who is an arts & cultural performer? Email us to connect with them. The gala is sponsored in part by and hosted through the Calgary Public Library.
