SUMMARY:Exhibition: Atelier Artista Student Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Atelier Artista Art Show\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nGallery Level 4\nSeptember 2 – 29\, 2025\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \n\n\n\nThe 2nd Annual Atelier Artista Student Art Show returns to the 4th floor of cSPACE Marda Loop. The exhibition brings together the works of students and participants who make up the vibrant Atelier Artista studio community. \nAtelier Artista is home to a diverse group of creatives from all walks of life\, with a wide range of backgrounds\, skill levels\, and artistic goals. Some artists take classes\, while others join weekly drop-in sessions—often working on different days and rarely crossing paths. This annual exhibition offers a chance to unite their creativity in a shared gallery space. \nRather than presenting classroom assignments\, the show highlights each artist’s personal voice and vision\, expressed through the craft they develop at the Atelier. The result is a dynamic collection that reflects both individuality and the collective spirit of creativity that defines Atelier Artista. \n*Many of the pieces are available for sale. Since the studio is not taking a commission we ask you contact the artist directly with the info on their label and we hope you do. \nReception:\nSeptember 26\, 2025\n5:00 PM -9:00 PM

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Fabulous Over 40 by Laurie MacBrown Photography
DESCRIPTION:Fabulous Over 40 by Laurie MacBrown Photography\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nGallery Level 1\nSeptember 8 – 20\, 2025\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \n\n\n\nThis isn’t just pretty pictures. It’s a celebration of women who are part of a growing movement to challenge the false narrative that beauty fades with age. \nThe Fabulous Over 40 Art Exhibit shines a spotlight on the portraits and stories of women aged 40 and up. \nInstead of being shamed into the shadows\, each of these women chose to step into the light. \nThey said yes to a transformative boudoir portrait experience. They said yes to being seen. Boldly\, vulnerably\, and without apology. \nThe goal? To rewrite the story: Women over 40 are beautiful. The ticking clock is a myth. And the years ahead are something to look forward to. \nAs an artist and photographer\, my mission is to challenge outdated beauty standards and offer a new perspective. One that I see for myself every day as a boudoir photographer for women over 40. We’ve been sold a lie. There is no expiration date on beauty. Let me prove it to you! \nThis exhibit is proof that beauty exists in every chapter of life\, and that it’s never too late to feel truly seen. \nAbout the Artist \nWebsite: www.lauriemacbrownphotography.com \nYou may know me as your photographer\, but what you might not know is why I do this. \nI started photographing women to figure out the secret to looking good in photos\, because I never liked photos of myself\, and I thought there was something wrong with me. What I’ve learned is this: being photogenic is not about how you look on the outside. It’s about feeling beautiful and having someone capture that so you can see it too. \nToday\, I’m an accredited\, multi award-winning portrait photographer\, and my mission is to show women\, especially those over 40\, that every body is beautiful and worthy of being photographed\, even without clothes on. \nI invite you to see yourself\, and women like you\, in a whole new light.

The works capture fleeting moments of water\, inviting reflection on nature’s rhythms and patterns. \nThe exhibition will be on view from September 9 to October 6. We warmly invite you to the opening reception on September 19\, where you can experience the spirit of the exhibition firsthand. Register below to join us!

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION: Gilded Memory\, Clouded Truth by Michelle Atkinson and Danielle Bartlette
DESCRIPTION:Gilded Memory\, Clouded Truth by Michelle Atkinson and Danielle Bartlette \ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 1 \nSeptember 22 – November 3\, 2025\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \nGildedMemory\, Clouded Truth presents the work of Michelle Atkinson and Danielle Bartlette\, two artists whose practices approach truth through layers of beauty\, memory\, and allure. \nAtkinson transforms raw climate data into silkscreened forms that recall clouds\, candy\, and dreamscapes. These luminous surfaces veil the wildfires and environmental upheaval beneath\, asking viewers to look closer at the stories we sugarcoat. \nBartlette’s mixed-media paintings reassemble memory through texture\, collage\, and embellishment. Her work navigates romance\, urban landscapes\, and personal history\, turning fragments of lived experience into lush abstractions. Placed side by side\, the works spark dialogue about what is hidden and what is revealed. Whether through the shimmer of glitter or the glint of gold leaf\, both artists remind us that surfaces hold weight — and beauty often conceals a more complicated truth. \nMore from the Artists: \nMichelle Atkinson – michelle-atkinson.ca \nDanielle Bartlette – neonmilkshake.com

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION: Where the Land Cradles Me by Carrie Schurig
DESCRIPTION:Where the Land Cradles Me by Carrie Schurig \ncSPACE Marda Loop\nCubby Gallery Level 2 \nSeptember 27 – December 1\, 2025 – HELD OVER UNTIL DECEMBER 1\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \nWhere the Land Cradles Me is a series of mixed-media paintings\, with each work carrying more than a single story; many stories\, many voices\, many landscapes\, many truths interwoven. \nThe surfaces hold tension and harmony\, permanence beside change\, silence beside song\, and memory beside dream. Yet these contrasts remind us of what is at stake. The land that cradles us is under threat\, and climate justice is not optional; it is essential. \nThis series asks viewers to consider how place is never one story but a gathering of countless narratives\, layered across time\, culture\, and imagination. It calls on viewers to recognize our shared responsibilities to protect the places that shape us. The land is more than a backdrop; it is a lifeline. It is about how the land cradles us all\, differently and together\, shaping the stories we live and pass on. To honour it means to act\, to defend its stories\, its balance and its future. \nAbout the Artist: \nCarrie Schurig is a Calgary-based artist whose work spans pencil drawing\, mixed media\, and painted resin\, Conceptual and representational\, her pieces explore memory\, emotion\, and the layered connections between people and place. Her current series is deeply rooted in her relationship with the land\, reflecting on how it shapes identity\, belonging\, and our sense of time. \nIn addition to her studio practice\, Carrie is a Visual Arts Specialist and Fine Arts Learning Leader with the Calgary Board of Education\, guiding students and communities to engage meaningfully with the arts. She is also embarking on a Master of Education for Change\, exploring how education can drive social and environmental transformation. \nThrough her art and teaching\, Carrie offers a distinct\, thoughtful\, and imaginative perspective on the world\, one that invites reflection\, curiosity\, and connection.
