The United Congress is a long-standing artist collective active in Calgary, Alberta from the late 1980s to the present day. The group combines conceptual art, silkscreen, music, constructed language, abstraction, and anti-art in its activities. Alberta visual artist and original Congress member Lisa Brawn describes the group as "interested in dadaist instigation, politics, intense productivity, anonymity and relentless propagandizing” ()(). ==Beginnings== ''The United Congress'' was formed in 1988 at the Alberta College of Art and Design, by White-Field Senate, who is the group's longest-standing member ().
