Calgary on Purpose

November 27

7 PM
Dome Theatre

Celebrate the final Calgary on Purpose event of 2024 with an evening of meaningful conversation and community connection! On November 27, gather with us in the Contemporary Calgary Dome Theatre for the last "Evening of Conversation and Connection" of the year—a night dedicated to thought-provoking dialogue, shared ideas, and new connections.

The event begins promptly at 7 PM with three talented Calgarians showcasing their work, followed by insightful interviews led by the incomparable Dave Kelly. We’ll conclude the formal program by 8:30 PM, though the bar will remain open for those who wish to continue the conversation.

Enjoy an enchanting lineup, featuring the incredible skills of three-time world hoop dancing champion and musician Dallas Arcand, the evocative poetry of Calgary’s own poet laureate and “feminist folk poet” Shone Thistle, and the soulful blend of blues, country, and rock and roll from Erin Ross, crafted in southern Alberta. Dave Kelly will share a new story reflecting on our shared sense of place, and then invite us to join in an open forum, discussing our collective hopes, concerns, and dreams.

Thanks to the generous partnership of Contemporary Calgary, the support of many volunteers and Calgary Arts Development, the evening is free to the public. Please register to reserve your seat—and feel free to invite friends and colleagues!

Our aim is to encourage our beloved Calgary to be an example of how the people of the world can live well together. In that spirit, we stimulate conversation, curiosity and delight in the skills, stories, aspirations and goodwill of our neighbours on this land.

Join us in fostering appreciation, curiosity and shared purpose across our beloved city!
