Visual Arts Program Announced!

Every year, we aim to present thoughtful programming at Sled Island and our Visual Arts component is no exception! Today, we unveil the extensive roster of diverse works curated by Visual Arts Coordinator, Jodie Rose. There's a clear theme running through this year’s program, combining the Riot Grrrl spirit of Kathleen Hanna and natural engagement with the public. Most of the Visual Arts component at Sled Island will be made accessible for free in the hopes of pushing the visibility of the works further than ever.

Works exhibited include Kathleen Hanna's first-ever curated art show In Light Of It, the annual Sled Island Poster Show featuring original handmade depictions of your favourite Sled Island acts, the nail and hand art spectacle of Fingering It Out, the digital wormhole VirtualSled 2014, an examination of art's relation to commerce The Black Box Gallery and much, much more.

Many of this year’s Visual Arts projects are on going beyond the festival dates. Keep up-to-date by checking up on the soon-to-be-unvieled Arts Blog and our social media channels. Most importantly get ready for summer, Calgary. We want to see what you've got this June!
