This well-known art gallery is in the heart of downtown Calgary and housed in a prestigious building that caters to upscale purveyors of modern art. You will find works here by celebrated Canadian artists. Visitors can take delight in beautiful landscape photography of Craig Richards and Nathan Birch, who have splendidly caught the essence of nature on paper, or abstract works of John Eisler, David Bolduc and Philippe Raphanel. There is also a large section devoted to works by Alberta artists including paintings, sculptures and modern works of art.
A part of the Our Lady of Fatima Church, this hall is quite popular especially with the 7000 strong Portuguese community who migrated to Calgary from the Azores Islands. Mostly church related and community events are held here, however the occasional music concert or dance performance also draws people from across the city to this quiet, green neighborhood. The hall is not too state-of-the-art in terms of technology but the convivial atmosphere which it generates, more than makes up for this.
