Contemporary Calgary Revenue and Competitors

Contemporary Calgary provides Calgary and its visitors with a significant visual arts destination dedicated to modern and contemporary art.\n\nThe former Centennial Planetarium, itself a significant work of brutalist architecture, is a world-class gallery where we deliver outstanding local, national and international contemporary art programming. As a young and ambitious institution, we uphold the values that make us a welcoming, inclusive, engaging and relevant space that is expansive in its representation of artists and ideas.\n\nWe exhibit art and offer arts related programming because:\n\nWe believe that art can foster conversation and encourage the exploration of new ideas and critical thinking. \n\nWe believe in the power of art to transform the places and the lives we live.\n\nWe share a passion for art that is relevant, meaningful, and challenging.\n\nWe share a passion for Calgary as a global city of choice.\n\nWith recent exhibitions that include ground-breaking contemporary names like Yoko Ono, Robert Houle, Chitra Ganesh, Diane Arbus and Marman and Borins, the Gallery plays a central role in Canada’s cultural landscape and is pivotal to the continued growth of Calgary’s growing contemporary art quarter. \n\nIn the spirit of respect and truth, Contemporary Calgary acknowledges the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. We also acknowledge that Contemporary Calgary’s building is situated on land immediately adjacent to the Bow River that has shaped this land and its people for generations.\n \n\n \n \n Show more\n \n\n \n\n\n \n \n Show less
