Free Public Programs: Artist's Space
Who can apply?
The Artist's Space at the Creative Kids Museum and TELUS World of Science invites artists in all art genres who are dedicated to providing a positive experience to our visitors
Artists should be aware that the Creative Kids Museum can be very busy at times, ambient noise can be loud. It can also be very quiet. Applying artists need to be comfortable with children and public around them.
It is required that any artist considering applying will tour the space first – please contact ckm@calgaryscience.ca During your tour you are welcomed to discuss your proposal ideas with Evelyn Delgado, Committee Chair.

Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibit: Transformers
The ASA has developed a travelling exhibition
entitled Transformers from the collection of
Seventeen
mixed media art works reference transformative
acts and mysterious interventions that defy easy
explanation. Shape shifting, magical inferences
and surreal episodes populate the chosen art works – occasionally twisting familiar subjects into the
unfamiliar and back again. Modest in scale and not
really like Hollywood’s blockbuster film, this exhibition
provides provocative and playful perspectives on
nature, civilization, biology and other topical issues
of our time.
The featured artists include Cindy Baker, Sean
Caulfield, Chris Cran, Steven Dixon, Karen Dugas,
Bart Habermiller, Nelson Henricks, William Laing,
Luanne Martineau, Tomoyo Ihaya, Jacques Rioux,
Wade Stout, John Swindler, Ray Van Nes, Tadeusz
Warszynski, John Will and Richard Yates. |
Since the Creative Kids Museum opened in October 2006 we have had many wonderful artists. Click here to see who our guests were.
