The artsPlace HUB Gallery is committed to displaying a variety of exhibitions that aim to inspire the Bow Valley’s connection to art and creativity. artsPlace helps the Bow Valley engage with these exhibitions in a variety of ways, including in-person exhibitions, 3D virtual tours, artist talks, and social media platforms.
Four abstract artists - Hélène Cyr, Jennifer d’Entremont, Wanda Ellerbeck and Barb Fyvie - co-create four canvases. This exhibition is a true adventure of collaboration, communication and care.
This fascinating exhibition presents a dialogue between ‘our’-’selves’, asking: Is each person a collection of competing selves that want and need different things?
The focus of the HUB Gallery is on three main streams of exhibitions: Community Exhibits, Exhibits by Emerging Artists, and Educational Exhibits.
Community Exhibits: artsPlace hosts a number of exhibitions created by artists who currently reside in the Bow Valley, with an aim to celebrate the local creative talent by showcasing our artist instructors, local youth, individual artists, and local artist groups. A call for submissions will go out in the fall of 2021 for Community Exhibits to be displayed during 2022. Submissions will be reviewed by a committee of local artists and community members.
Exhibits by Emerging Artists: artsPlace provides an artistic platform to support Alberta emerging artists interested in pursuing a career in the arts, by helping them to gain valuable exhibition experience. A call for submissions will go out in the fall of 2021 for RISE Emerging Artist Exhibitions to be displayed during 2022. Submissions will be reviewed by a committee of professional contemporary artists.
Educational Exhibits: artsPlace endeavors to include exhibitions that serve to educate the Bow Valley community about contemporary arts and to bring in new and engaging artwork to be experienced by the Bow Valley community. This may include TREX, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program designed to promote Alberta art and artists through professionally developed exhibitions.
Some exhibitions may fit in more than one category. For example, Community Exhibits or Exhibits by Emerging Artists, may also serve to provide educational opportunities to the Bow Valley Community to experience contemporary arts, or a Community-Created Exhibit may be created by an emerging artist.
We believe experiencing the arts is a right regardless of financial means.
