The Oratory & Recess Calgary Present: Exhibit of Social Artistry

Priscilla and Coach T. invite you to the Exhibit of Social Artistry in August, 2025! We are open to the public Thurs-Sat 11am-6pm and will have events all month long.

What is Social Artistry?

  • Social artistry practice describes art that is collaborative, often participatory and involves people as the medium or material of the work.

  • Social art is the application of arts and creativity towards the transformation of individuals, groups and societies by working with your target audience as opposed to for them.

  • A social artist is someone who is part artist, part social-change agent, part facilitator and part visionary. The social artist draws on artistic practice, group dynamics and creative ideas to facilitate change.

  • What a canvas is to a Painter, what a stage is for a Dancer or a lens to a Filmmaker, Community is to a Social Artist.
