Every time when I come to this city, I like it more and more. Though Calgary is quite a young city, it has lots of places of interest. Who knows…may be some day I’ll move to this city.

Thank you very much for this post!I visited several canadian cities. But I’ve never been to Calgary. Now I think it’s really worth seen.

Great guide to Calgary. Congratulations to Design*Sponge for giving a home to the city’s stories.
Of course the other thing that makes Calgary such a great city is its wonderful people and the random acts of kindness that happen every day. We’re colllecting Feel Good stories of the people in Alberta who make a difference: visit http://www.feelgoodripple.ca and add your Feel Good Ripple.

What a wonderful guide to Calgary! Kudos to Design*Sponge for keeping such an open mind… Calgary doesn’t always leap to mind first when thinking of arts and culture, but this blogg did good! I’m new to Alberta, just moved to Edmonton, and Grace, I’d love to start working on a submission on Edmonton… it’ll keep me on the look out!
thanks so much for your inspiring blog!

Hey, thanks for posting this. I just wanted to plug Art Central, which is tucked away in corporate Calgary’s Downtown area. I sell abstract paintings (my own) and other artworks. We are basically a mall filled with small businesses. Galleries, shops, studios and a coffee house (Deville). Thanks again!

Interesting to see Calgary here! Max seems to be going to all the right places! Lets support local buisnesses as much as we can and that means the Calgary Farmers Market. God bless Phil & Sebastian coffee! Calgary has, arguably, the greatest art college in Western Canada and a cool music scene if you look for it (Cantos, Beatnik, Mikey’s Juke Joint, Palomino). Don’t forget our great local designers (Shisomiso, Uppercase, Influx).As a local artist, born in Edmonton, and working in the non-profit museum sector here, I agreee that there is a lot to complain about where Calgary is concerned, but I haven’t given up on it. If all the artists leave and if people don’t go out, see art and music and buy local, then how much worse might Calgary get in the future?
