Celebrating 20 Years of Dream Home Art
11 of the past Dream Home Artist Winners return for 2026, each contributing original work to this year’s Dream Home.
Our First-Ever Collaborative Collection
For 20 years, the Dream Home Artist Project has brought original artwork into the Stampede Rotary Dream Home – supporting local artists while enhancing one of the most cherished experiences at the Calgary Stampede.
To celebrate this milestone, we’re introducing our first-ever collaborative collection, welcoming back eleven past Dream Home Artist winners to contribute original pieces to this year’s home. Together, their work forms a cohesive, contemporary collection that adds depth and character throughout the 2026 Dream Home.

Supporting Local Creative Communities
The artist collaboration reflects a shared commitment to celebrating local creativity.
By showcasing artists within the Dream Home, the program provides a platform for emerging and established creators to share their work with thousands of visitors during the Calgary Stampede.
It is a celebration of craftsmanship — from the builders and trades who create the home to the artists who bring it to life.
