Untitled Arts Society

Untitled Art Society

Untitled Art Society was founded in 1994 in Mohkinstsis/Calgary, Alberta, Treaty 7 Territory, by a group of recent graduates of the Alberta College of Art + Design (now Alberta University of the Arts); these young artists created a studio collective as a means to continue to support each other, and their surrounding community, in the challenging environs outside of the structures of post-secondary arts education. In the context of the volatile real estate landscape in Alberta—reflective of the province’s boom-or-bust fluctuations—Untitled has been a steadfast cultural hub that has provided not only much-needed, affordable, physical space for artists to undertake their work, but also the non-material structures of community within which such work thrives. In the 25 years since our founding, this spirit of collaboration and support has guided the organization as we continue to learn, re-orient and grow.
