The Esker Foundation is fantastic! Their space was vibrant and bright, I went last year for the Katie Ohe Exhibition it was splendid, I would recommend this place to anyone who is eager to experience some art in Calgary, not a lot of places like it! Good fun for the whole family. Take your grandma? Take your siblings? Take your parents? Take a date? Any of the above just go!

Went to see the Katie Ohe Exhibition. It was absolutely awesome and well worth the trouble to go. These pics are just a sampling of her smaller pieces that were hanging together on a wall. The space shows off her kinetic sculptures and those are the feature of this exhibition. If you have not had the opportunity to see her work in person or even if you have, it is well worth it!

To put it simply, Esker is a MUST go to gallery in Calgary. Their exhibitions are always so beautiful aesthetically and the content is so rich. Although usually featuring more than one artist, it's all so cohesive and it makes sense.
The space is quite large and it is such a great place for photo ops if you're looking for some, or of course a place to cure your cravings for great art. The staff are always so kind and helpful as well. I just went there this weekend and I promise this exhibition) or any really, are worth checking out if you're in Inglewood :)
