Exhibition: “Prairie Histories” – Corinne Cowell
Today is Earth Day!
On Earth Day, April 22, 2025, we’d like to remind you that “the greenest building is the one that’s already built.” - Architect Carl Elefante.
Adaptive reuse of existing structures honours the history of a city, while taking care of our future by limiting the damaging environmental impacts of new construction.
We are proud of cSPACE’s LEED Gold Certified creative hub in Marda Loop for showing that sustainability is compatible with vibrant city-building!

Corinne Cowell: Prairie Histories
From the artist:
This ongoing series deals with narratives and memory as well as the environment and our place within it. A series of "prairie ghosts" speaks to the history and perseverance of family and struggle as well as the abandonment of those precious homesteads of the early 1900`s. These disturbed landscapes are fraught with memories, long faded but still lingering.
The buildings, straining to remain, alone and resilient against the elements, will ultimately disintegrate back into the landscape. This reclaiming by the land forms a series of mysteries, offering a great depth for potential narratives. These are the stories I want to tell.
These pieces are made using my own photography, which I transfer to the under painted surface. Using many layers and glazes of acrylic paint, I develop the mood and transparency of the image to support the imagined narrative of the work.
If you are interested in purchasing any of Corinne’s pieces, please visit her website corinnecowell.com , where you can also find her small paintings and mixed media fibre work. You can also follow her on Instagram @corinnecowell .

Exhibition: “Celebrating Light in Living Spaces” by Tony Settari
A collection of B&W photographs that explores the power of the sun light and its interaction with our daily living. The photographs will take the viewer through the same apartment at different times of the day, from waking to night. The images let you discover new interesting details of the living spaces that may be otherwise forgotten.
Artist’s Statement:
Tony Settari, born and trained in the Czech Republic, developed an early passion for art and music alongside a career in engineering. After moving to Calgary in 1969, he was inspired by an Ansel Adams retrospective, which ignited his interest in large-format photography. While his professional career in academia and consulting limited his artistic pursuits for some time, retirement allowed him to fully return to photography. Today, his work blends traditional analog techniques with digital processes, focusing primarily on black-and-white imagery that emphasizes simplicity and minimal reliance on technology.
