Triangle Gallery Of Visual Arts, Calgary, AB

C WHO WE ARE (M. Eileen Murray, Where the Heart Is exhibition, 2013) WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY CALGARY? Contemporary Calgary is building a global city of choice by engaging Calgary with the art of our times. Calgarians deserve a destination dedicated to contemporary and modern art. A centre for inspiration. A place to gather. A place of wonder. A place that welcomes every form of artistic expression, and makes every- one feel welcome. A place that invites all of us to embrace the incredible. A place to celebrate the art of our times. WHO’S BEHIND IT? Contemporary Calgary began with a collaboration of visual arts partners including the Institute of Modern and Contemporary Art (IMCA), the Art Gallery of Calgary (AGC) and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MOCA) in co-operation with members of the Calgary visual arts community. WHY DID WE JOIN FORCES? We believe in the power of art to transform the places and the lives we live. We share a passion for art that is relevant, meaningful, and challenging. We share a passion for Calgary to be a global city of choice. It is time to step up and put Calgary's voice into an exciting international dialogue. We are responding to a movement that is growing in Calgary. One that seeks a new cultural venue in a landmark building - an invitation to Calgarians to join together to explore, discover and imagine. We have joined forces to be a conduit in connecting art and audience, and we are united in our vision. We see new ways to collaborate, new ways to experi- ence art, and a new destination that will welcome and engage our entire community. We believe in the power of art that enlightens, invigorates, educates and communicates. We want to make sure every Calgarian has an opportunity to experience it.
