Artcity Festival is a ten day long festival of art, architecture and design that occurs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada every year in September.Artcity is produced by the Visual Arts Week Society, a volunteer-run society dedicated to enhancing the public's experience and enjoyment of contemporary visual arts, architecture and design.

Artcity inserts performances, installations and discussions into the public realm. Instead of presenting artworks normally found in a traditional gallery space, Artcity caters to alternative types of artwork that excels in a more accessible space.

Artcity pays CARFAC exhibition fees and additionally provides artists with production allowances. The festival welcomes proposals from producers from all cultural backgrounds and sociopolitical associations.
