Beyond Van Gogh
The immersive Experience takes art to new heights by projecting the works of Vincent Van Gogh across all surfaces of the venue, granting guests an escape into a world envisioned by his masterpieces. Art will come to life as over three hundred paintings dance and swirl to the sounds of a symphony orchestra and narration quoted directly from Van Gogh’s writings. Beyond Van Gogh, created in Calgary and Montreal with creative partners Normal Studio, made its North American debut in Miami on April 15, where it is on track to sell 120,000 tickets. This experience is currently on sale in Austin, Detroit, Milwaukee, Portland, St. Louis, Honolulu, and many more cities, and is breaking box-office records.

Here are a few highlights from our urban planning world this month.
1. North Hill Communities Local Area Plan
The revised North Hill Communities Plan is now available! This plan includes Council-directed amendments from the April 12 Combined Meeting of Council and policies from the Guide for Local Area Planning (formerly Guidebook).
A summary of the policies from the Guide that have been incorporated into the plan can be found here. To read a redline version of the plan with all the changes, please click here.
One of the major changes in the revised plan is reducing building scale from 6 storeys to 4 storeys, primarily in areas outside of activity centres, Main Streets, and transit station areas. The revised plan is going to City Council on June 21, 2021. Please note, this is not a public hearing, so the public will not have an opportunity to speak, but you can still watch the hearing by visiting Calgary.ca/council.
2. Development Map
The Development Map is a convenient way to inform citizens and community associations of applications in their areas. As of June 1, citizens can access application plans and renderings on the Development Map. By providing plans/rendering online, communities can become more informed about a proposed development. The Development Map allows communities to offer their input earlier in the process. To access the map, click the link above. Look out for more improvements to the map.
3. 14 Avenue N.W. Mobility Improvements
The City of Calgary is reviewing 14 Avenue N.W. between 24 Street and 14 Street to understand how to improve mobility and accessibility for all ways of travel. This review will allow the community to address concerns and explore ideas to enhance existing infrastructure along 14 Ave N.W. Learn more about the project here.
4. Off-Leash Parks – Coventry Hills and Hidden Valley
The City of Calgary, in partnership with the Hidden Valley Community Association and the Northern Hills Community Association, is looking for feedback on proposed off-leash, multi-use areas for the local communities to enjoy! Check out the project pages for the Hidden Valley and Coventry Hills projects to learn more and to share your thoughts!
