Untitled Arts Society
, 4th floor, 319 - 10 Avenue SW (back entrance)
Untitled Art Society is a thriving, not-for-profit artist-run studio cooperative of Calgary artists. It was founded in 1993 by graduating students of the Alberta College of Art & Design. Untitled's membership represents the full spectrum of the visual arts, from students through to emerging and established artists.
Our Mandate
Untitled Art Society supports the artistic practices of a community of local artists by providing and maintaining access to studios, a darkroom, and exhibition venues, as well as facilitating interaction and discourse both within the local arts community and the community-at-large.
History
Untitled Art Society (UAS) is a thriving, not-for-profit artist-run studio collective that was founded in 1993 by graduating students of the Alberta College of Art & Design. Since that time, UAS membership has grown considerably and now includes nearly a hundred artists of diverse disciplines in all stages of their careers, from students through emerging to established artists. Many have exhibited their work on local, national, and international levels.
UAS has been forced to relocate three times since we first opened, but as a self-supporting community of artists we have continued to survive Calgary's turbulent rental climate. In the summer of 1998, UAS moved to its current location, and with the assistance of Alberta Job Corps, we were able to renovate the space into sixteen studios, a gallery, office, and a fully-equipped darkroom.
UAS is now well established in our new space, and we are able to focus our energies on the further support and promotion of local artists. We have programmed exhibitions in the main space, as well as bi-monthly exhibitions in the Untitled Art Society +15 window. Every year we hold fundraising events, such as open houses and silent auctions, and actively seek corporate sponsorship to fund UAS activities. We have participated in the annual Artcity (formerly Artwalk/Artweek) festival every September, opening our doors to hundreds of visitors per year. Untitled Art Society continues to seek new ways to support our artists, from providing ever-increasing exhibition opportunities to the acquisition of professional quality graphics software, computer, and photo equipment.
We will continue to grow and thrive as a collective of artists, thanks to our dedicated groups of volunteers over the years, our members, and the generous support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Calgary Arts Development, and private and corporate sponsors.
