Today, we honour National Indigenous Peoples Day by reflecting on the artists, elders, and communities whose wisdom and creativity bring life to cSPACE.🧡
“Every society, in one way or another, lays claim to a territory… it is through this mutual relationship with the land that cultural icons, symbols and images, values, customs, ceremonies, stories, songs, and beliefs of the people are developed.”— Dr. Leroy Little Bear
At cSPACE, these words are lived through projects like We Are All Treaty People, a collaborative mural by Nathan Meguinis and Doug Driediger, and through community gatherings such as the Four Winds Indigenous Showcase & Market, and most recently, through fireWORKS by ARTICLE 11 at the Historic Fire Hall No.1 - celebrating resilience, showing the power of buffalo and of the people that belong to this land, and how we all share it today.
We are grateful to live and create on the lands of Treaty 7, and to continue learning from those who have always been here.

May 2025 marked the 10th anniversary since we broke ground at cSPACE Marda Loop—and look how far we’ve come, together! This milestone is a tribute to the creative community that has brought the building to life.
We marked the occasion with an impromptu group photo on the front steps—with a small but powerful sample of the tenants, co-workers, staff & students!
To everyone who`s walked these front steps, let’s celebrate what we’ve built—literally and figuratively—over the past decade. 🥳

🏛️✨ What a walk! Our cSPACE Marda Loop Walk with @janeswalkyyc and @mardaloopcommunity was a sold-out success!
Thanks to Kate and Erin for leading the tour and everyone who joined us to explore how a 1912 sandstone school was reimagined into a LEED Gold certified arts hub.
From history buffs to urbanists to curious creatives, your presence made this Jane’s Walk special.
📍King Edward School opened in 1913 and has evolved from a community hub to what it is today: a platform for Calgary’s creative future.
