The Works Art and Design Fest is back in concentrated form June 27-July 1

The Works Art and Design Festival is back as its own separate entity after two years sharing space and dates with Edmonton International Street Performers Festival!

Now running in a concentrated, five-day form Thursday through Canada Day, the free creativity festival features large-scale immersive artworks, interactive displays and a solid set of stage performances — all free to enjoy around downtown.

Found-material sculptor José Luis Torres returns once again, this time with a sea-can construction called Trojan Horse as a comment on consumption and excess.

Edmonton mural star Jill Stanton has moved into sculpture with oversized flowers in a piece she’s calling Supergarden.

Along with her pottery and artwork, Raneece Buddan’s Come Mek mi hole yuh han features a Jamaican maypole dance workshop 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday on the square.

And sculptural abstract painter Giuseppi Albi has a virtual reality exhibit at Stanley Milner Library called Inside the Picture worth a look, as Instant Places’ nightly sound compositions make use of the City Hall clock tower bells back on Churchill Square where most of the other action takes place. Called BellCurve, these play 10:30 p.m. – 11:30 p.m. nightly, running an hour earlier on Canada Day.

The all-Alberta music lineup looks terrific, as well!

Terry Morrison and John Gorham, Sammy Volkov and Dana Wylie, Ellie Heath, The Provincial Archive, Pete Turland Band, Mark Davis, Sour, The Denim Daddies and Party Jacket are just some the acts playing June 27-July 1 — full schedule at theworks.ab.ca where you can also find more information on the rest of the artists on the square, and in City Hall, the YMCA, the Milner, The Westin and Rice Howard Way’s Alley of Light.

Plenty of food and vendors, as well.

Come be inspired — the theme name of this year’s festival — by all the creativity flowing around the core!
