Didn’t get tickets to the main event? Or just not ready for the magic to end? Come help us send off the 2026 heARTburn season in style! 💗🎶

On Saturday, February 21st, we’re gathering at artsPlace for our second annual heARTburn Afterparty. This is our chance to honor the incredible artists who filled our gallery with wonder and celebrate the close of another beautiful year.

✨ Details:

🎨 Meet the Artists: Your chance to chat with the creators behind the 2026 exhibition.
💃The Wearable Art Runway: A wildly entertaining fashion show showcasing this year’s project entries!
🎧 Full Lineup: DJs and performers keeping the vibe alive all night.

A Note on Radical Civic Responsibility:
As we gather in the heart of Canmore, we want to make sure the love we feel inside the venue radiates outside, too. To keep our relationship with the town and our neighbors as beautiful as the art on the walls, please remember:

🤫 Keep it Chill Outside: When you’re heading out for air or moving between locations, please keep voices low. Let’s keep the noise on the dancefloor and the quiet on the streets.

🏔️ Breathe Easy: Please be mindful of where you smoke. Keep it discreet & respectful of shared public air.

🚽 Use the Facilities: Nature calls, but please answer it inside. Let’s keep the sidewalks and alleyways clean and avoid any tickets or complaints.

We want to be invited back for our 10th anniversary next year, and that starts with being the best neighbors possible this weekend. Let’s leave a trace of nothing but good vibes! 🥰

See you at the Closing Party, doors at 6:30pm! 🪩🔥

Entry by donation (Cash Only) – Charity details to follow.

Our ninth heARTburn was absolute magic! The dust has settled, the music is still ringing in our ears, and our hearts are completely full. 🏔️❤️🔥

We want to send a MASSIVE thank you to the lovely humans who volunteered their time, talents and energy to make a truly epic evening. 💓

From the visionary artists and mesmerizing performers to the DJs who kept us moving - and every single behind-the-scenes volunteer - we could not have done this without you. It takes a village to build this temporary oasis, and you all showed up beautifully. 🥰🫶

We’re loving the photos and videos popping up in our feeds and taking this time to relive the magic with you. Remember to keep tagging us so we can see the night through your eyes. Official photography and videography is coming together and we’ll share those galleries as soon as they land! 📸

Don’t miss out on what we’re dreaming up next (and be the first to hear about our 10th anniversary!) by subscribing to our mailing list here: 👉 heartburn.love/subscribe/

And DON’T FORGET about our heARTburn Afterparty!! Join us again for the official 2026 Gallery Closing party on Saturday, February 21st, for a full night of DJ’s, Art, Performances, a wildly entertaining Runway Fashion Show and your chance to meet our 2026 artists.🧑‍🎨

Thank you incredible community for bringing the vibes to Canmore. Until we gather again! ✨

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Now that heARTburn 2026 is sold out, let's talk tickets! 🎟️

All tickets will be on a guest list under the name of the purchaser and the name of the guest will need to match the guest list at the door on event night. If you decide to resell your ticket, we are unable to transfer the ticket into the new purchaser’s name, so please make sure the new ticket holder knows to check in under the ORIGINAL PURCHASER name.

If your plans change and you can no longer attend heARTburn and want to sell your tickets, we highly recommend selling to people you know or doing the sale in person if and when possible. And please remember that tickets must only be sold at FACE VALUE!!

‼️Avoid being scammed‼️PLEASE EMAIL US prior to purchasing any tickets for resale if you do not know the seller!

Our ticket team will remain on hand to assist potential buyers to ensure that all resale tickets are legitimate and mark the tickets as resold.

Online scammers are getting more sophisticated in general and it’s very easy to be taken in if you don’t know what to look for. So here are some quick things to check if someone you don’t know is offering you tickets for sale:

* If someone is offering 4 tickets this is an easy red flag. We had a 2 ticket maximum/person, so NO ONE will have 4 tickets in their name.
* Check their profile. Do they have any friends to show, is the profile pretty sparse and basic, do they seem to have any connection to Alberta, BC or even Canada?
* Ask them to show you a screenshot of part of their order confirmation showing the right price, the event name and their name on it.
* Ask them to tell you details about the event, how they heard about it, who they know in the community, if they’ve gone before and what it means to them.
* Be patient and ask the ticket team to check that the person’s name is actually on the guest list.
* If they’re being pushy and deflecting from any of the above requests, trust your gut, do not send them money and report them to the heARTburn organizers.

Thank you for your overwhelming support yet again, we can’t wait to celebrate with you next month! 💕

As our 9th instalment of heARTburn approaches, we’re reflecting on how much our little gathering has grown and evolved since our initial vision. Since our beginning, heARTburn has been about investing into our community and inviting our community to invest and participate in heARTburn to create a truly unique collaboration of art, music and celebration. ❤️🔥✨

One of our proudest investments into the event in recent years has been a massive upgrade in sound through our partnership with Ionic Sound Systems . We’re so excited to have them back in both our Cosmic Gate and Bass Garden rooms (with a little upgrade in bass for you Bass Garden heads)! 🎧🔊

Ionic Sound Systems takes a unique approach to audio reproduction. A special collection of carefully curated parts and components with an end goal of maximum headroom to create an ultra-low distortion, clean and pure listening experience. It is the culmination of a 5 year creative journey by respected Canadian audio nerd Jay Michael, currently living in Calgary.

You can catch Jay Michael’s set in the Bass Garden this year!! 💕
