Illingworth Kerr Gallery

The Illingworth Kerr Gallery (IKG) is a world-class exhibition space and flexible platform for critical enquiry and theoretical debate with a focus on visual culture. As the longest-running international art program in Calgary, the gallery acts as an interface between the Alberta College of Art + Design (ACAD), its activities, student population and faculty, as well as the broader community. Whilst retaining a strong linkage with the local communities, IKG takes a global perspective and bridges physical, cultural and emotional distances, thus avoiding insularities. The yearly programme of exhibitions is accompanied by a varied and tailor-made offering of public events. These include workshops, artist talks, conferences, screenings, mentorship and internship, live events, etc.
