CONTEMPORARY CALGARY REVIEWS
We absolutely love this space. We enjoy the various exhibitions and the perspective film series they have put on in their beautiful theatre. Their annual membership fees are so inexpensive [$20 Individual] [$40 Dual] [$50 Family]. Also, just launched, check out their new Culture Club membership for young art enthusiasts in their 20s–40s. The building is absolutely phenomenal and worth visiting. The staff and volunteers are all top-notch. We would HIGHLY recommend it.
Great space, interesting exhibits and wonderful staff. A real gem in the West End downtown.
Saw a fascinating exhibition of Diane Arbus's photographs. Other art on display was fascinating. I highly recommend a visit. Plan to spend a few hours. You'll be glad you did.

CHRISTINE KLASSEN GALLERY REVIEWS
Candace did an amazing job restoring this piece back to its former glory. Her framing work was phenomenal, and it really took this painting to the next level. I highly recommend her for art restoration and framing and wouldn't take work to anyone else! Her pricing is also very fair.
Amazing atmosphere, interesting and talented artists, and many fun events to visit at the gallery. They also can repair and frame your favourite art pieces there! Highly recommend to all art lovers.
Beautiful pieces by local artists, friendly staff, and great experience. Will be back.

ESKER FOUNDATION REVIEWS
Absolutely always worth a visit. It’s a generous, high-ceiling, bright and welcoming space. The admission is (sometimes) free, and the are thoughtfully curated. Has a small bookstore as well. Their kids and even baby-oriented events are a great addition to the art experience.
Came for a free painting class it was awesome, and the artist was super engaging and helpful. It was nice to get back into the artistic side.
Lovely space to enjoy the arts. Very well recommended.
