Kensington just got a whole lot brighter with a brand new digital art walk!

Via Brendan Klem

Here’s your chance to get out and explore one of the most vibrant and IG-worthy neighborhoods in Calgary! Definitely worth leaving the house for so we recommend that you get out of that “work from home” uniform you’ve been wearing all week and get photo-ready for the most IG-worthy new spot in the city!

Kensington’s newest contemporary condos, The Theodore, and our friends at The Kensington BRZ and PARK, have come together to give back to the community and make Calgarian’s commutes through, and visits to Kensington a whole lot brighter! We think everyone could use a little light at the end of the tunnel these days and #KensingtonBRIGHT has done literally that!

Kensington digital art walk

The feature installation at the future home of The Theodore condo building is an interactive light-tunnel and hand-painted mural created by local artists Shannon Hoover, Angel Aubichon, Alex Manitopyes and Michelle Hoogveld. This colorful light-inspired tunnel allows you to engage with art in a touchless way with the lights changing colour as you walk through!

#KensingtonBRIGHT also features three additional lifesize outdoor installations located at Ridley’s Cycle, Vine Styles and Good Trade Coffee Co. in collaboration with artists Leetia Lyons, Sydonne Warren and Alex and Angel of Indicity.

Don’t forget to make these vibrant experiences part of your “shop local” stroll around the neighbourhood, grab a coffee, and remind yourself about what makes Kensington so special!
