If you’re looking to step up your Instagram game, look no further than Calgary’s street art scene.
Thanks to initiatives like the Beltline Urban Mural Project (BUMP) Festival, Calgary continues to be more colourful transforming buildings and bridges into canvasses that bring art into the community—and to your Instagram feed.
Here are a few places where you might find yourself stopping for your next photo-op:
