Our Main Space is currently located at 208 Centre St SE in the Chinatown
neighbourhood of downtown Calgary. A detailed floor plan can be found here.
Shows are six weeks in duration.
Main Space programming comprises exhibitions by artists, collaborators, curators, and other cultural producers from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. We work closely with artists to create critically-relevant shows that advance contemporary art in our local and national communities. Please note that TNG accepts proposals for solo shows, but the Programming Committee may also consider individual artists for inclusion in a curated group project.
TNG observes CARFAC-stipulated payment schedules, offering an artist fee of
$1845 for a solo show. Additionally, we provide limited financial resources to aid
artists in managing shipping and travel costs.
