The City of Calgary Public Art Program has been running an interesting contest over the last couple of months. Participants are presented with well-known public art from in and around Calgary and then tasked to answer a few questions about said art. I think it’s a fantastic way to engage the public about Calgary and our thriving public art scene.
Plus? You have the opportunity to win a fancy grand prize. And who doesn’t like to win stuff?!

Gallery Without Walls Contest
The May installment of the Gallery Without Walls Contest is now live and ready for viewing!
Thanks to all those who submitted entries for February, March, and April – those installments are now closed but be sure to check your answers at http://www.calgary.ca/publicart/
The contest, kicked off in February by The City of Calgary Public Art Program, highlights well-known pieces from the Civic Art Collection, and encourages citizens to learn more about the public art in and around Calgary.
Featuring a $1,500 grand prize of a Cultural Entertainment Package, the contest runs February to July. Once a month for a total of six months, an image of a piece from the Collection is posted at http://www.calgary.ca/publicart > Gallery Without Walls Contect. To enter, participants view that month’s image and provide answers to five questions posted on the contest main page.
The draw for the grand prize will be made on July 31, 2009 at an event held in celebration of Calgary Allied Arts Foundation’s Gallery Without Walls exhibit at the Art Gallery of Calgary.
