Glenbow is currently completing a comprehensive renovation of its 1970s building in downtown Calgary, transforming the eight-storey space into an accessible, dynamic community hub in Glenbow’s revitalized home, the JR Shaw Centre for Arts & Culture.
This renovation will establish Glenbow as a vibrant urban destination that engages with the city around it – a home for creativity, innovation, and community.
