Beyond a space for Calgary to gather and celebrate, we have consistently brought the world to Calgary and uplifted local talent by presenting iconic series and events.  

OUR HISTORY

As the programming arm of Western Canada's largest preforming art centre, we have a long history of presenting our in-house series as well as events presented alongside and in collaboration with community partners. From long-standing series like Classic Albums Live and National Geographic Live, to summer outdoor pop-up performances, gallery receptions, and professional development programs to support local artists, we've invited Calgary to discover the transformation power of the arts for over 40 years.
