Springboard Performance

containR 2026

A curated, open-air cultural hub where art, community, and the urban environment intersect.

Every year containR hosts change-making, accessible arts programming made for gathering. Having travelled to many communities of Calgary, containR is an art park structured with upcycled shipping containers that is designed, developed and curated by Springboard Performance.

Whether you’re stopping by to connect with neighbours, take in a performance, or simply spend time in the space, containR is here to celebrate creativity, community, and shared experiences in the heart of the city.

Meet us at containR! ~ Calgary's open-air art park and cultural hub.
