\nArts Commons: As the third largest performing arts centre in Canada (after the National Arts Centre in
\nOttawa and Place Des Artes in Montreal) , Arts Commons is an ever evolving space featuring music, theatre,
\ndance and visual and media arts of all kinds. As a civic partner to the City of Calgary, Arts Commons\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 main
\nfunction is to care for our facility which is over 13 acres of public space. Fundamentally, that we means we
\nare unique and have unique challenges that come with publically accessible spaces; we are not a gallery,
\nmuseum or dedicated exhibition space. We are a working performing arts space through which hundreds of
\ncitizens pass each day. In the 2014-2015 Season alone, over 1000 artists worked and performed here
\nthrough us and our resident companies. Arts Commons along with our six resident companies employs an
\nadditional 240 full-time arts professionals.
\nOperating in tandem with that main function, Arts Commons Presents is the programming team (of five
\npersons) within Arts Commons. Engaging with over 48,000 patrons alone, we present over 100 musicians,
\nspeakers and comedians on our stages, facilitate and program over 120 visual and media artists throughout
\nthe building, and program Arts Learning opportunities through 120 artists for almost 10,000 students in any
\none season. Arts Commons Presents includes concerts, education, visual and media arts events and
\ncommunity events; these areas often work together or are complimentary.
\nArts Commons Presents invests significantly in emerging and mid-career artists. We value innovative,
\nthought-provoking work that is also community minded. What this means to you as an artist is our
\nrelationship will often not start or end with a single exhibition, interaction or performance. The intent is to
\ngrow those diverse arts experiences with you; we value your work and believe it contributes the diversity of
\nCalgary\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cultural fabric and fosters a compassionate society of culturally engaged citizens.<\/p>\n
