NVRLND. is a grassroots arts initiative in Calgary. We believe creativity should have no barriers and that the traditional systems of art are ripe for a shake-up. We work to empower artists to build sustainable careers and to give a voice for change in the traditional art system. We turned an abandoned hotel in Ramsay into affordable artist studios. Each studio keeps the character of its original hotel room, inside a shared community where artists can experiment, connect and grow. Next door, The Boutique is a former bridal shop that now hosts gallery exhibitions, workshops, music performances and photo shoots. Twice a year we open our doors to the public for Open Studios.
