BRANDED: THE ART OF CALGARY STAMPEDE POSTERS

For more than a century, Calgary Stampede posters have invited audiences from across the world to experience The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.

Bold and eye-catching, these posters have appeared everywhere, from telephone poles to living rooms, as both striking advertisements and enduring works of art. Each poster reflects its moment in time: not only in how it looks, but in what it says about Western identity, community, and culture.

This exhibition showcases a selection of Stampede posters spanning over 100 years. Like a ranch brand that leaves a lasting mark, each poster shapes how the Stampede is seen, remembered, and passed on.
