Sled Island is a registered charity, and we are dedicated to nurturing the music and arts community, working hard to provide unique, accessible events and artistic opportunities year-round.

With that said, none of this can be accomplished without the generous support of donors! As the holidays approach, we are asking for your help to reach our $30,000 fundraising goal which will be invested into our programming initiatives in 2025!

50% of donations made before the new year will be matched by the government, making your contribution even more impactful!

Show your support by donating at SledIsland.com/Donate!

If you’re unable to donate, you can still help us by bidding on our silent auction items, or by sharing our message with your friends, family and employers.

Once again, we’ll bring together 25 musicians from various backgrounds and draw names from a hat to form one-off bands for one night only, with less than 10 hours to write and perform new material! ⁠

This one-of-a-kind event is focused on creating meaningful connections between musicians just starting their music journey in the city and artists more familiar with the Calgary music scene, with the goal of fostering a more diverse music ecosystem and increasing equitable access to creative opportunities for all.

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. If you would like to attend but ticket prices are a barrier, please contact info@sledisland.com.

Thanks to the Ansari-Cook Foundation for making this event possible! ⁠

Huge shout out to Mike Hooves for the awesome new poster art!
