  • Gallery Reception: “THE ART OF IMPACT” Closing Reception & Meet the Artists

    cSPACE Marda Loop 1721 29 Avenue Southwest, Calgary, AB, Canada

    Join us at cSPACE Marda Loop for an inspiring evening of art, connection, and community at “The Art of Impact” Closing Reception & Meet the Artists,  presented by ArtRecruits’ Recess and hosted by Studio C.

    Taking place on Thursday, March 26 from 5–8 PM in Studio C, this free, all-ages event invites you to experience the culmination of an evolving exhibition while connecting directly with the artists behind the work. Enjoy an engaging atmosphere filled with conversation, creativity, and community—plus free parking.

    The Art of Impact showcases a dynamic collection of mixed media, painting, and 3D artworks created by the Recess! Crew. As part of the ArtRecruits program, this leadership development initiative highlights the creative process and the power of a growth mindset, collaboration, and inspired action.

    Presented in Studio C from March 16–27, the exhibition has evolved over time—shaped by curiosity, experimentation, and collective creativity. At its heart is a “community of creative fulfillment,” where participants exchange ideas, support one another, and explore authentic self-expression.

    The closing reception is an opportunity to experience the exhibition in its final form, meet the artists, and celebrate the impact of this collaborative journey.

  • Gallery Reception: Rebus Plates for our Times/Assiettes Rebus pour temps qui Courent

    Alberta Craft Gallery at cSPACE 1721 29 Avenue Southwest, Calgary, AB, Canada

    Join us Alberta Craft Council at cSPACE for an afternoon of art, ideas, and community with Rebus Plates for Our Times / Assiettes Rébus pour Les Temps Qui Courent.

    Begin your visit on Level 4 in the RGO Treehouse with a thought-provoking craft talk, Pictorial Puns: Rebus Plates for Our Times, presented by craft historian Dr. Jennifer Salahub. This engaging talk explores the rich history of rebus imagery—visual riddles that combine pictures and letters to convey layered meanings—and their evolution from 19th-century French ceramic traditions into contemporary artistic practice.

    Following the talk, head down to the Alberta Craft Gallery on Level 2 for the artist reception, where you can experience the exhibition firsthand and connect with the work in a welcoming, social setting.

    Rooted in a historical tradition popularized by makers such as the Faïencerie de Gien in France, rebus plates once conveyed everything from moral lessons to political commentary. This contemporary exhibition revisits and reimagines that form, offering fresh perspectives on the complexities of our current moment.

    Featuring work by Montréal-born, Calgary-based artist and Professor Emerita Mireille Perron—founder of the Laboratory of Feminist Pataphysics—this exhibition reflects a playful yet critical approach to art, craft, and social discourse.

    We’re proud to host this free, public event at cSPACE. Everyone is welcome to attend and experience the creativity and conversation unfolding within our community.

    This exhibition is generously supported by Alliance Française.

    The event takes place on April 24, 2026, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM in the RGO Treehouse (Level 4) at cSPACE Marda Loop. For those who can’t attend in person, the celebration will also be live-streamed via Facebook Live.
