The Waterton Lakes Opera House located in Waterton Lakes National Park Alberta is a heritage cinema and concert hall, operating from May to October. Offering current movie releases, art films, events and live performances. Learn more through our website.

As we develop arts programming for our community we realize that our for-profit structure is restricting our growth and preventing us from accessing funding that similar venues in surrounding communities benefit from. Considering this, we are investigating the possibility that a not-for-profit partner organization could be set up. The role of this partner organisation would be to develop and present arts programming for the Opera House.

We are looking for a “self starter” arts adminstrator that would take the initiative to set up and run a not-for-profit partner organisation that would develop and present Arts Programming at the Opera House. This is not a funded position, intested parties must be willing to build the organisation from the ground up.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS / MAIN SPACE

Deadline: Wednesday, July 25, 2018

The New Gallery (TNG) is an artist-run centre located in Calgary Chinatown on 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), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). Mohkínstsis – commonly known as the City of Calgary – is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.

TNG is currently welcoming submissions for Main Space programming in 2019/20. TNG accepts proposals for solo and group exhibitions, and may also consider individual artists for inclusion in a curated group show. TNG’s Main Space is also able to support projects outside of a traditional exhibition format, including but not limited to residencies, community engagement initiatives, and publication projects. Proposals of this nature must follow the regular submissions procedures, as well as provide a project budget outlining any additional financial resources required. Please note that TNG is mandated to provide opportunities and venues for artists that foster social and political creative practices, while engaging and educating audiences through contemporary art.

In the late 1980s, Cam Christiansen was a teenager living in the Edmonton suburbs, when his Danish-born dad decided to take the Christiansen family on a European vacation.

That experience jump-started Christiansen’s understanding of how creative cities—and lives, including his own—could potentially be.

“When you went to Europe, pre-Internet, it was actually a real culture shock,” he says. “I remember literally poking our heads out of the train station in Copenhagen and seeing all these European backpacker kids—and they all had these great scarves and were so exotic–and European!”

The impact upon teenaged Christiansen was total—in all the best ways that a suburban teenager’s life can be transformed.
