Untitled Art Society (Calgary)

Untitled art society (calgary) operating as the bows is an artist run centre in mohkinstsis (calgary alberta). Treaty 7 territory. Our core goals are: to support the development creation and presentation of new work bu early-career artists; to provide affordable studio space for local artists; and to broaden the reach and scope of contemporary art in this city with the ultimate if ambitious aim to expose this city to artistic work that explores pressing contemporary issues. We work toward these goals with an artist-centric approach that prioritizes the wholesale support of artists; creative and radical uses of spaces outside of the gallery; and a curatorial focus on projects and practices that dovetail with the specific socio-political cultural colonial economic and indigenous histories and contexts of this province. Ultimately the bows strives to empower and support artists to imagine radical futures and to invite those inside and outside of our community to be co-conspirators in realizing such futures.
