Landscapes of the Imagination is a whimsical floating artwork based on your favourite books and stories.

Landscapes of the Imagination is a swirling cloud of stories floating up into the atrium above Inspire. Miniature scenes will rise inside suspended bubbles, drawing from the folklore, fantasy, and fiction that feeds our collective imagination. Each bubble is based on a beloved book or story from a person in the community. These tales will be 3D printed, sculpted, and assembled inside the acrylic & brass spheres overhead – like escaped daydreams, whirling up towards the sky.

Story Survey:

For many months, story-enthusiasts from Airdrie, Rocky View County, Calgary, Treaty 7, and beyond were invited to participate by sharing their favourite books and stories.

Thanks to the 130+ contributors who shared stories with us!

This survey is now CLOSED.

We asked participants the following questions. If you’re interested in sharing more books and stories with us, it is only for the joy of sharing a favourite story. We’re always very happy to hear from you.

In your own words, describe a book or story that you love…

What is the title of the book or story?

Imagine the place where the story is set. Describe a scene from the story in as much detail as possible. (Remember, we are not sculpting people – focus on the setting of the story)

Are there additional details we should be sure to capture if we sculpt your story?

Why do you love this story?

I understand that my answers may be used to help create Landscapes of the Imagination. Not every book or story can be used, but we intend to represent a diverse, fun, and beautiful cross-section of submissions. Your answers may be quoted anonymously in the future.

Thank you for participating!
