IGNITE! Call for Emerging Artists

About the IGNITE! Festival of Emerging Artists

IGNITE! is a  multi-disciplinary, four-day festival of emerging art and artists. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s beautiful! 

For nearly 20 years, the IGNITE! Festival of Emerging Artists has put a focus on helping develop Calgary’s rising talent by presenting their work to the public and connecting them to a network of established industry professionals.

Sage Theatre and IGNITE! Festival provide rehearsal space, production support, marketing of the festival, and an honorarium to all of the artists involved.
