SUMMARY:Hallway Gallery: Holding Ground by Monica Kidd & Eveline Kolijn
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: Holding Ground by Monica Kidd & Eveline Kolijn\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 2\nMarch 2 – 27\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEveline Kolijn and Monica Kidd present a photographic inquiry of coastlines at cSPACE. \nCoastlines are dynamic by nature—meeting places where roads end and the ocean takes over\, where ships arrive and depart carrying both possibility and peril. They are the last stop before the horizon: liminal spaces where the boundary between land and not-land is constantly in flux. They are also increasingly endangered. As the planet warms\, sea levels rise and storms intensify\, threatening the health and wellbeing of more than half a billion people living in coastal regions worldwide. \nThis exhibition features photographs of people and places affected by coastal erosion\, created by Calgary-based artists Monica Kidd and Eveline Kolijn\, both of whom bring deep environmental concerns to their work. The images represent projects undertaken in Newfoundland & Labrador\, the Magdalen Islands\, Tuktoyaktuk\, France\, Fiji\, Vanuatu\, and Curaçao. \nIn a time of rapid climate change\, these photographs aim to speak for the world’s oceans and the communities connected to them. \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 5\, 6:00–8:00 PM

SUMMARY:Hallway Gallery: Wild Art by Tanya Bilichenko
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: Wild Art by Tanya Bilichenko\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 4 Cupola Gallery\nMarch 2 – 30\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \nOpening Reception: March 4 | 5:30 PM – 7:00PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWild Art is Tanya’s first exhibition\, but painting has been part of her life since childhood.\nFor many years\, Tanya placed her artistic dream gently to the side — focusing on education\, work\, motherhood\, family\, and rebuilding life after forced emigration. Yet through every stage\, art remained my constant light. \nIn her most challenging transitions\, painting became refuge and meditation. Through color and movement\, she processed change\, fear\, hope\, and renewal. Nature and animals inspire me deeply. In their wildness\, she see’s truth\, resilience\, and freedom. Tanya’s work reflects this connection — a dialogue between inner strength and the natural world. \nThis exhibition is not just a presentation of paintings; it is a personal step into courage\, authenticity\, and sharing. \nMore from this artist: art-tanya.com

SUMMARY:Hallway Gallery: Enchanted Matter by Festival of Animated Objects
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: Enchanted Matter by Festival of Animated Objects\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 1\nMarch 9 – 20\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Enchanted Matter: Puppetry\, animation and magic” invites audiences into a world where imagination brings the inanimate to life. This exhibition celebrates the power of puppetry and video art together; art forms that not only bridge sculpture\, theatre\, and storytelling\, but are also imbued with spells and intention. \nThe artworks featured in this exhibition blur the boundaries between stillness and motion\, material and spirit. They conjure movement within stillness\, give breath to the lifeless\, and awaken the mythical beings within these objects. Each artwork pulses with the intent of its maker\, reflected in the characters\, scenery and videos featured throughout the exhibition. For each of these artists\, the process is just as important as the final creation. Hidden sigils of empowerment\, appreciation for the small things that surround them\, and a reconnection with inner playfulness and whimsy\, all inform what moves these artists to create. \n“Enchanted Matter: Puppetry\, animation and magic” welcomes you to explore the work of Abbey Leach\, Kathy Austin and Stephanie Quilliams\, and to witness the magic that fills the gallery.
