Send in the Clowns
cSPACE Marda Loop
Studio Theatre
February 13, 7:30 PM. Doors at 7:00 PM

What could you expect when music creation was inspired by a clown? Icarus 3 is an improvising trio composed of Jeremy Gignoux (violin/viola), Keith Rodger (double bass), and Robin Tufts (drums, percussion). They created their original repertoire in an unusual and experimental way: with the help of the clown. Under guidance from clown performer and educator Jacqueline Russell, they explored their inner clowns, which gave birth to musical compositions and improvisation games that display a joyful and wild creative energy. In a special performance, you can expect a fun show, stories, emotions, and characters are all brought to life through music, movement and theater.

What can you expect from the show?
You will see musicians play music but also move around the stage and be silly. The music has elements of jazz, classical music, traditional music, and lots of improvisation. At times, it will be very exploratory, showcasing unconventional playing techniques, at other times it will be more down to earth. We also have a few games in store.
With ISC on stage will be Jacqueline, who will act as a clown-provocateur/ring leader. As such, she will react to the music they play but also prompt them to change the way we perform, and help everyone connect with you the audience!

Workshop: CreativiTEA - Presence through Painting
2026-02-22 13:00 - 15:00 (America/Edmonton) | ATELIER ARTISTA, 1721 29 Avenue Southwest, #Suite #410, Calgary, AB, T2T 6T7, Canada
What could be better than art-making, self-discovery and tea? Learn how the act of painting can calm the mind in this workshop for adults.

An introduction to acrylic painting workshop that emphasizes the use of painting as a tool for mindfulness by centring one’s focus on working with the paint in the present moment.
In the workshop, Athena calls on her over 20 years of experience in painting and teaches participants the basics of tracing a design onto a canvas, applying paint and blending colours. This method of working encourages participants to push past the hurdle of the blank canvas, allowing them to fully enjoy the benefits of experiencing a painting practice.
The inspiration for this workshop came from Athena’s experience with using a paint-by-number kit to create a soothing, healing environment after a seizure scare in 2021. Using painting as part of her recovery reinforced her belief that by focusing people on the process of painting—as opposed to the final product—one could create a highly beneficial tool for mindfulness and emotional regulation.

What is a CreativiTEA?
CreativiTEA is an in-person workshop series for grown-ups created by Tilted Windmills that combines fun, insightful art-making activities with community-building through creativity.
Each two-hour CreativiTEA session includes:

A guided creative activity with all art supplies provided
Socializing and discussion with tea and delicious goodies—also provided

What you don’t need to bring to CreativiTEA?
Any concerns about your perceived “artistic ability” or level of “talent”! The workshops are intended for anyone who wants to explore art-making and dive headfirst into the world of creativity.
Tickets are limited! If you can’t make this workshop, we encourage you to follow our Eventbrite page to be notified of future workshops.

Your CreativiTEA facilitators
Athena splits her time between being a professional visual artist and a creativity coach with Tilted Windmills. By blending her training as both a therapeutic arts practitioner and a life coach, she helps people tap into their creativity and potentially draw forth unexpected insights from the more visual side of their minds.
Stefan is Tilted Windmills’ clinical counsellor and a self-described wounded healer. He holds a Master’s degree in Social Work (clinical specialization) from the University of Calgary and strongly believes in the power of utilizing creativity as a pathway to help people explore, discover and grow.

Level 3 Gallery
March 2 – 30, 2026
8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays)

Opening Reception: March 9th 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

After years of reflection on how to present herself through her art, May B drew inspiration from her relationship with food. Having spent much of her life in kitchens, she began to wonder:

How would a chef introduce themselves?

‘A Tasting Menu’ is presented as a 12-course menu, where each painting is a snapshot—a carefully curated plate that blends emotions, memories, and circumstances into a singular experience. Every “course” explores her favourite flavours and how they have shaped her. These paintings act as a visual pairing, crafted to evoke a sensory experience that is deeply personal, yet universal.

‘A Tasting Menu’ is not just a collection of artworks—it’s an intimate invitation to join her for dinner.

Level 2
March 2 – 27, 2026
8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays)

Eveline Kolijn and Monica Kidd present a photographic inquiry of coastlines at cSPACE.
Coastlines 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.
This 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.
In a time of rapid climate change, these photographs aim to speak for the world’s oceans and the communities connected to them.
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 5, 6:00–8:00 PM

Opening Reception: March 4 | 5:30 PM – 7:00PM

Wild Art is Tanya’s first exhibition, but painting has been part of her life since childhood.
For 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.
In 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.
This exhibition is not just a presentation of paintings; it is a personal step into courage, authenticity, and sharing.

March 9 – 20, 2026
8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays)

“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.
The 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.
“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.
