Best Sites For Buying And Selling Paintings In Calgary Near Me

4worldlovers: Join us for a visually stunning experience as we showcase a collection of striking pieces by three Calgary-based artists: Jessamyn Box, Susana Espinoza, and Maria Munar each of whom uses abstraction to characterize their distinct styles.


Jessamyn’s bold experimentations in a variety of media: paint, crayon, marker, and ink capture the inhibition of street art, while Susana’s rigorous approach to achieving the perfect balance of colour relies on her investigations into tonality. Maria’s luminous layered hand-cut photography collages lean into digital technologies to evoke an alter modern production of the organic world processed through non-traditional mediums.

This exhibit promises to be a truly inspiring and thought-provoking experience, we invite you to view and enjoy the talents of these artists who create maximal compositions in each carefully crafted work.

Fine Art, Fine Wine | Sommelier Led Art & Wine Pairing with Jessamyn Box

A very special experience awaits you on Friday, May 12th at Gibson Fine Art.

From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., artist-and-sommelier Jessamyn Box will lead us on a unique and curated adventure: pairing fine wines with fine art with not only her artwork but also the art of Susana Espinoza and Maria Munar!

Jessamyn, who is both a Level 4 Sommelier and an accomplished painter, has selected six vintages to be paired with two of her newest artworks, two works for Susana Espinoza and two works from Maria Munar as part of our latest exhibitions at GFA.

At the event, Jessamyn will walk us through six stations where she will spend time discussing each wine selection and her reasoning for pairing it with the chosen artwork. Guests will be invited to taste and to learn about the six different wines, as well as the corresponding paintings.

Tickets are $20; light accouterments will be served to complement the tasting.

Jessamyn completed the prestigious Wine Spirit Education Trust (W.S.E.T.), Level 4 Diploma in 2016, and then performed sommelier duties in a succession of top Vancouver restaurants, all the while advancing her dynamic and lively canvases. We are thrilled to have her back in Calgary, where she is now part of the fabulous team at J Webb, conducting tastings and sharing wine wisdom as well as working at Calgary's Major Tom restaurant as one of its esteemed sommeliers.

The exhibition runs May 13 through June 3 at GFA -- be sure to catch it.

We would love to see you at our freshly renovated space in the heart of the Barley Belt, plenty of room for all our amazing artists and an inspiring neighbour, Interior Living. The combined space creates a unique local destination where we bring together art and design in one location. A must see for anyone who loves both! Oh, and did we mention abundant free parking (523 Cleveland Cres SE)?!

Whether you’re adding to an existing collection, designing a brand new space, or buying your very first work of fine art, we’re here to help you find the best piece that suits your unique sensibility.

4worldlovers: Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art is one of North America’s leading contemporary art galleries representing prominent Albertan, Canadian and international artists. Newzones’ program has an emphasis on process-oriented artwork, challenging both the traditional use of materials and formal aesthetics through painting, photography and sculpture.

Founded by Helen Zenith and Tamar Zenith, Newzones opened June 4, 1992 in an old steel plant in Calgary’s warehouse district. In 1997, Newzones constructed its own freestanding facility, designed by architect Peter Lawrence Wood. On the main floor, this architecturally modern building features three galleries, a viewing area, outdoor sculpture courtyard and a glass meeting room. The second floor boasts a sculpture gallery and two administrative offices overlooking the galleries on the main floor. The gallery is located in Calgary’s uptown design and gallery district.

Newzones has a strong following for its Canadian artists regionally, nationally and internationally, with an exceptional and exciting schedule of curated exhibitions and international art fair participation. Since its inception over 30 years ago, Newzones continues to carry a powerful voice in the international art community, and has played a leading role in the advancement of contemporary art in Calgary, Canada and abroad. From the beginning, Newzones’ mandate has been to introduce and promote its Canadian artists not only in Calgary and Canada, but on the international art stage. An important and esteemed establishment in the visual arts landscape, Newzones remains committed to the development and enhancement of the visual arts, and is very proud of the gallery’s impact over its 30+ years, in making Canadian art a strong and stable contributor in the international art market. This has been achieved through dedicated and meaningful art fair participation, and just as importantly, through the nurturing of steadfast relationships with collectors, institutions, art professionals, and art enthusiasts all around the globe.

4worldlovers: Art Market Craft Sale is a four-day show that showcases some of the best Canadian artists and crafters around! Over 200 handpicked artists come together to showcase their works in the stunning space of the Convention Centre. This beautiful building allows the artist to showcase their work in small gallery-like settings, wherein shoppers can step into the world of each artist, meet them, and take the time to really see the workmanship that each artist has put into their work. This is a place for not only serious art collectors but all shoppers who appreciate and celebrate handmade. There really is something for everyone on your list for every occasion.

We have also invited a delectable group of food artists who have come up with some of the most amazing flavours for you to taste, devour and take home to share with your favourite people. They are either sharing with you a recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation and has found a way to share it with all of us, or you are experiencing the tastes of recipes that have hours, days, months or years of trying to perfect that most perfect taste that will leave you wanting more.

To round it out, we have set it up so that if you feel so inclined, you can enjoy a glass of wine or beer and live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. This is the way to shop! Throughout the four days, we give away tons of Art Market dollars, so keep your fingers crossed.

This year we are excited to be celebrating our 37th year, and we hope to do that with you.
