Join us for an intimate, salon-style conversation uniting voices from art, science, ranching, and beyond to explore our shared connection to the prairies and our responsibility for their care. Inspired by Forever Grasslands, Alberta-based artist Colin Starkevich’s sweeping large-scale paintings of golden hills, coulees, and the wildlife that thrives within them, this guided yet organic discussion will weave together diverse perspectives on one of Canada’s most resilient and fragile ecosystems.

Following the conversation, enjoy refreshments and an informal tour of Forever Grasslands with Colin, whose work celebrates the beauty of the grasslands while raising awareness of the conservation efforts that sustain them.
