Soundscapes in the Landscape

A Wandering Weekend invited visitors to explore Elbow Island at their own pace, learning about the art, experiencing the island, and listening to musicians play improvised, spatial compositions in collaboration with the land itself.

Artist-Designed Benches

Each bench on Elbow Island was designed by an artist duo who built their ideal place to sit together, daydream, rest, and watch the river flow by. You can see short documentaries about their process here.

A Wandering Weekend

Join us for a day of wandering on Calgary’s own art island, including a choose-your-own-adventure walking tour, soundscapes in the landscape, and a bike-in film screening of mini-docs about The Wandering Island art projects.
