Earlier today, we were thrilled to share the architectural designs of the Arts Commons Transformation (ACT) expansion. This video provides a wholistic look at what the expanded Arts Commons campus will offer, and reveals the spectacular design of the ACT expansion. /1

The transformation and expansion of Arts Commons solidifies downtown Calgary as the destination to enjoy the performing arts, from music to dance and theatre! An exciting day for all Calgarians! Arts Commons #downtowncalgary #supportlocalyyc

This morning marks a big step towards Calgary’s creative future. With CMLC & the City of Calgary, the design of the ACT expansion show an arts space that is ''of and for Calgary' - a place where everyone is welcome.'  
Congrats to @KPMBArch, Hindle Architects, & @taw_arc!

After a moving ceremonial land blessing this morning, Arts Commons, CMLC, and the City of Calgary are beyond thrilled to start the next chapter of Calgary’s creative future. Explore the design for the Arts Commons Transformation expansion project at artscommons.ca/act

“Today, we don't just reveal a stunning new design—we come together to celebrate the fact that the largest arts-focused infrastructure project currently underway in Canada is truly and uniquely Calgarian.” - Alex Sarian, President & CEO of Arts Commons

“The Arts Commons Transformation is at the heart of how we bring Calgary’s downtown to life with the creative economy.” - Jyoti Gondek

“Deep research and focused engagement has led to the concept of a lodge as inspiration for the design of the building that includes a gently curved form, natural materials, and a design spirit that welcomes you in to share and hear stories.” - Kevin Bridgman, @KPMBarch
