SUMMARY:Hallway Gallery: No Mistakes Art Show by National AccessArts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: No Mistakes Art Show by National AccessArts Centre\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 1 Gallery\nJune 2 – June 29\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \nOpening Reception: June 8\, 4PM-6PM \n\n\nIn partnership with National accessArts Centre\, Eve Johnson will bring together the strange and the curious in a celebration of mistakes and risk-taking. \nAbout the Exhibition\nHave you ever made a mistake? Have you ever loved the place a creative misstep led you to?\nHave you ever felt possessed by an otherworldly being when you make art?\nAre you anti-perfection? Are you trying to become an anti-perfectionist?\nHave you made something that turned out horrible\, but then your friend’s aunt actually really liked it?\nAre you weird?\nDo you use materials in an unconventional way?\nDoes your creative process embrace radical risk taking?\nDid people in art school make fun of you?\nDo you feel compelled to make strange objects? \nNo Mistakes is an exhibition that celebrates the strange\, the curious\, and the unconventional. \n\n\nAbout the Curator\nEve M Johnson is a curator working in Calgary\, Alberta\, Canada. Her journey into the art world was unusual. She began making art at an early age\, exploring creation throughout her childhood. As an adult\, she attended the Alberta University of The Arts. This was not meant to be and she left soon after\, but developed strong skills in thinking and speaking about art.  She also developed a passion for unusual art that was overlooked by mainstream arts institutions\, often preferring the art of students who got bad grades in her classes. \nIn 2021\, Eve Joined the National Access Arts Center\,  and once again her liberal arts skills stood out. She quickly was invited to discussions with international arts organizations. These organizations dealt with disability\, outsider\, and marginal art. She expanded her passion for  overlooked artists and their work. She attended both the 2022 and 2024 beginning conferences \, and was a speaker at the 2024 event. Currently\, Eve is an advisory board member at the Illingworth Kerr gallery. She is thrilled at working to curate her very first show! \n\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hallway Gallery: Focus On by Alliance Française
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: Focus On by Alliance Française\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 3 Gallery\nJune 2 – June 29\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \nOpening Reception: June 5 @ 6:15PM \n  \n\n\nMore than a photography exhibition.\nA collection of perspectives.\nA mosaic of details\, emotions\, textures\, and untold stories. \nWe invite you to discover FOCUS ON\, a collaborative photography exhibition bringing together over 40 photographers and more than 250 submitted photographs\, each offering a unique and deeply personal interpretation of the theme. \nFrom fleeting shadows to quiet smiles\, urban fragments to intimate moments\, every image invites you to slow down\, observe differently\, and reconnect with the beauty hidden in ordinary life. \nSome photographs whisper.\nOthers linger.\nAll of them have a story to tell. \nDuring the exhibition\, you will be able to discover not only the selected works\, but also the stories\, memories\, and emotions behind each photograph revealing why these moments mattered enough to be captured. \n\n\nAbout the Exhibition\nFOCUS ON explores the idea of bringing attention to something specific within a frame:\na gesture\, a texture\, a reflection\, a corner of a building\, a movement\, a silence. The exhibition celebrates photography as a way of noticing what often goes unseen — transforming everyday fragments into poetic visual narratives. Through different styles\, cultures\, and artistic sensibilities\, the participating photographers invite viewers to look closer\, pause longer\, and rediscover the extraordinary hidden inside the ordinary. \n  \n
