Contemporary Calgary, Art gallery in Calgary, Canada
Contemporary Calgary occupies a former planetarium building with concrete walls and bold geometric shapes, displaying modern and contemporary art exhibitions throughout multiple floors.
The transformation of the Centennial Planetarium into Contemporary Calgary marks a shift in the building's purpose from astronomical education to modern art presentation.
This institution brings international artists and local creators together through exhibitions, educational programs, and community events that highlight current artistic practices.
The gallery welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Saturday between 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
The brutalist architecture of the building creates an industrial background for the art installations, with exposed concrete surfaces and angular design elements.
