The City of Calgary’s Winter City Design Competition Winner

Serenity Passage is a temporary art installation featuring over 200 blown glass rondels created in collaboration with glass artists from Calgary and surrounding areas. These rondels are arranged within an illuminated archway forming a 7-foot-tall, 5-foot-wide passage accessible to individuals of all mobility levels. Upon entering the Serenity Passage, visitors experience an immersive environment with a glowing glass dome overhead, encased in plexiglass. The design muffles city sounds offering a serene space for peace, joy or introspection and provides contemplation and refuge from the snow. You can experience the Passage in different conditions, with the city backdrop always visible, though the weather and people may change. Serenity Passage is an interactive installation.
