Calgary — Art and augmented reality will come together to take over windows of businesses in Inglewood to display interactive art murals.

Northern Reflections is a six-week augmented reality exhibition launching on Jan. 21 in the neighbourhood of Inglewood and will feature 11 teams of artists to celebrate the power of music, art and business, according to a release.

The exhibit will showcase painters, animators and the murals have been paired with music producedby local and international musicians.
