Trace
TRACE is a FORM event — a curated art experience by Public Display Agency that blends design, dialogue, and discovery. This one-night showcase unites visual artists, designers, and makers in an immersive, gallery-style setting at Contemporary Calgary. TRACE invites guests to slow down, engage, and experience art in a new way. Admission is RSVP-based and pay-what-you-want, making it accessible while supporting artists directly. We believe art helps people find meaning, belonging, and community. Through events like TRACE, Public Display Agency brings artists and audiences together to feel seen, supported, and part of something bigger.
