cSPACE was established in 2011 by Calgary Arts Development in partnership with The Calgary Foundation to develop a network of affordable, sustainable and collaborative workspaces across Calgary. cSPACE is currently accepting proposals from non-profit or charitable organizations interested in becoming Anchor Tenants within our flagship project, cSPACE King Edward.  

As the Anchor Tenants, the ideal respondents will already be established incubators of Calgary’s artists, social entrepreneurs and/or emerging non-profits. The successful respondents will bring their existing networks, capacity-building expertise, resources and vision to maximize cSPACE King Edward as a unique platform for delivering multi-disciplinary, cross-sector incubation programs. In particular, cSPACE is looking for organizations interested in collaborating on designing and delivering a focused program of entrepreneurship supports to the cultural/creative sector.

In this Request for Proposals - Anchor Tenants, cSPACE is seeking tenants that require multi-year leases (5 years or more) and larger floorplates (over 750 s.f.) but also require a diverse range of spaces to deliver programming for both the public and the cultural/creative sector. These may include a mix of office, exhibition, rehearsal, performance, workshop, production, studio, conference, and meeting spaces that can be accommodated throughout the site. cSPACE is in the design development stage of the project and it is intended that successful Anchor Tenants will have the opportunity to provide input into the design of shared spaces throughout the building as well as co-design their own leased areas.

Deadline is Friday, September 14th, 2012 at 4pm.

A tour has been arranged for September 7th, 2012 at 10am to enable those who were unable to attend the previous information session. For further information, please contact Deeter Schurig, Project Manager at deeter.schurig@cspaceprojects.com or 403.264.5330.

A significant component of the Puppet Power 2013 conference will use the expertise of our visiting speakers to create a "Rapid Idea Generation" panel. The panel will brainstorm a pre-selected organization's proposal in order to demonstrate how artists and a community organization can create an exciting puppet project.

The Town of Canmore (the “Town”) has approved $100,000 commission for a public art installation at the new $39 million Community Multiplex (the “Multiplex”) currently under construction in Canmore. The Town has a vision for the facility, “To be an inspiring gathering place that enriches the well-being, enjoyment and aspirations of the community.” The design intent for the Multiplex is largely based on the geography of the town and its evolution from small mining town to the recreational, cultural and vibrant mountain community it is today.

The public art piece (the “Artwork”) will be a three-dimensional sculpture to be located outdoors in a bioswayle, in a prominent part of the main plaza leading to the entrance to the Multiplex on the southwest side of the building. See the attached site drawings.

The Town requires the services of a specialized project manager to execute the project on its behalf. The project manager is required to work with the artist to initiate, carry out and conclude all activities for the project. The project manager is accountable for the project management of the public art project from selection of shortlisted artists to final product and installation.
