Calgary

BuckingJam Palace (BJP) Music Foundation is currently exploring what a purpose-built or renovated venue for small to mid-sized live/performing arts organizations might look like in Calgary. If you are a musician, collective, or small to mid-sized organization looking for space to create, produce, and present your work - we invite you to connect with us by filling out this survey. 

Since 2014, BJP has been hosting local, national, and international jazz artists in our historic home in Mount Royal where musicians spend time collaborating, recording, and performing for our small audiences of 50. More recently, we have also been hosting concerts at external venues within Calgary to meet the demand of our touring artists and growing audiences.

We know that we are outgrowing our house concerts, but we still want to maintain the spirit of our house concerts and offer space for our musicians to not only perform; but also to create, record, and collaborate with each other. As such, we are looking for alternative venues and what it might look like to collaborate with other artists, collectives, and small to mid-sized organizations.

We have prepared a survey to start the conversation and to have a better understanding of your needs. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and we ask you to fill it out by October 31, 2025. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Aimee-Jo Benoit, Executive Director at BJP Music Foundation at ed@buckingjampalace.com.

We hope you will join us on Sunday, December 7, 2025 from 10 am to 4 pm to experience a one-of-a-kind shopping experience at the Wildflower Arts Centre (3363 Spruce Dr SW) in Calgary.

Our artists are busy getting ready for the holiday season creating art of all kinds. At the Salon you will find paintings, fibre art, hand pulled prints, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, drawing, glass work and more!

What makes the Salon different from other sales? 

At the Wildflower Art Salon & Sale you will be immersed with art in every direction. Our artists work is mixed together throughout the space versus individual artist tables. This set-up catches your eye in different ways and allows your brain to slow down and look more specifically at each piece. We cannot wait to have you over to see what we are working on.

Be a Part of Entwined!

Contemporary Calgary is seeking enthusiastic exhibition volunteers to support our upcoming group exhibition, Entwined.

Entwined brings together Canadian artists from Alberta, the Prairies, and beyond to explore our relationship with the land and all living beings. Working across various materials and media, the artists featured in this exhibition reflect on urgent ecological issues and the interconnectedness of all species. Drawing from traditional knowledge, mythology, science, and imagination, the exhibition calls for a shift away from human-centered thinking toward a deeper sense of kinship, responsibility, and care for the natural world.

What will your role involve?

As an Exhibition Volunteer, you will play a key role in enhancing the visitor experience. You will assist visitors by engaging them in conversations about the artworks, helping them connect with the exhibition, and answering general questions. Your responsibilities will also include offering friendly guidance—such as clarifying which works are interactive and which are for viewing only—ensuring a welcoming atmosphere, and providing support as needed throughout the space.

What are the requirements? 

We ask for volunteers to commit to at least one shift per week from December through March. Shifts are available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 12-7 PM, and Sundays from 12-5 PM.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please submit your interest here by Sunday, November 16, 2025.

If you have any questions about this volunteer position, please reach out to Beth Kane Manager, Visitor Experience at beth@contemporarycalgary.com and Sabine Levesque at sabine@contemporarycalgary.com 

Contemporary Calgary is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful volunteer community and encourages applications from all individuals.

They Are… The Black Gods.

Film, object theatre, and poetry intertwine in a contemporary ritual that awakens memories, reveals identities, and honours Afro-Cuban resilience.

Five centuries ago, these voices crossed the seas, and today they continue to remind us that hope is a duty.

This is not just theatre… it is a tribute to our roots, our strength, and the magic that binds us to our ancestors.

When: Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 4 pm
Where: SpanicArts - 131 6 Ave SW
Calgary, AB T2P 0P5
