LOOK25 Gala: Noir Nouveau

May 31, 2025

Everyone’s favourite four-letter word is back — LOOK! Calgary’s most anticipated annual celebration of contemporary art brings the community together to support the ongoing work of Contemporary Calgary. We are grateful to welcome MAWER as the Presenting Sponsor for this remarkable evening.

This notorious art gala and auction will celebrate creativity and expression with the theme “Noir Nouveau,” inspired by the work of renowned local artist Simone Elizabeth Saunders. Infused with the intricate beauty of Art Nouveau and Simone’s powerful themes of strength, joy, and resilience, the evening promises an unforgettable experience. For one special night, Simone moves from creator to curator, leaving her mark on the VIP Dinner, sponsored by HOLT RENFREW. Her influence will flow through the décor, performances, and atmosphere of the entire evening.

This is where we LOOK to you. Your support creates a lasting impact on our public programs and exhibitions. Taking part in LOOK is easier than ever, with three ticket tiers available (18+ only). Whether you experience the HOLT RENFREW VIP Dinner, revel in the Cabaret, or glide into the RYAN GREEN After Party, each ticket includes a 1-year membership to Contemporary Calgary!

We can’t wait to see you at the LOOK25 Gala: Noir Nouveau, presented by MAWER.
