Glenbow is a place of confluence: a meeting point for people and communities to join a flow of ideas, knowledge, opinions, and experiences. Our exceptional collection of art, objects, and belongings represents the people and ideas that have shaped our region. We are committed to expanding the accessibility and impact of art and culture in our community through exhibitions and programs that provide meaningful experiences for all visitors. Glenbow is currently completing a comprehensive renovation of its 1970s building in downtown Calgary, transforming the eight-storey, 312,000 square foot space into an accessible, dynamic community hub: the JR Shaw Centre for Arts & Culture. This renovation will establish Glenbow as a vibrant urban destination that engages with the city around it – a home for creativity, innovation, and community.
