Very beautiful and inspiring artworks! I could sit there for hours admiring the detail and hard work put into the art pieces here  Overall breathtaking place

The Esker Foundation is always incredible! I attended the opening for their winter exhibit 2023 the other night. Generous treats were served, prepared by Lina's and a lovely selection of wines, available. Visiting with lovely people and experiencing beautiful art, made for a great experience. Walking distance from intimate pubs and music made for an excellent evening. Arriving early helps resolve parking issues on opening nights! Esker programs are invigorating and highlight the hospitality and knowledge of Esker staff as well as invigorate interesting conversation. The recent interview with Margault Williamson was wonderful. Thank you, Esker.

Went with friends and family. The entire building is a modern work of art. The esker gallery is a beautiful gallery that encourages the diversity and unique contemporary art style.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Clean place and an interesting exhibit! Esker Foundation is a hidden gem in Calgary.

I was impressed with the layout of the gallery!  You could see the progression of the artist skill set. He really enjoyed painting still life from obscure angles.  This artist is considered a Realism artist!

Best experience. I would definitely recommend.

To put it simply, Esker is a MUST go to gallery in Calgary. Their exhibitions are always so beautiful aesthetically and the content is so rich. Although usually featuring more than one artist, it's all so cohesive and it makes sense.  The space is quite large and it is such a great place for photo ops if you're looking for some, or of course a place to cure your cravings for great art. The staff are always so kind and helpful as well. I just went there this weekend and I promise this exhibition or any really, are worth checking out if you're in Inglewood :

Outstanding Margaux Williamson and Ragnar Kjartansson exhibitions.  Really worth the visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

This place is the best, a really friendly welcoming art gallery that encourages everyone even with kids to come explore - for free too! The building is beautiful and the exhibits are consistently changing. I really enjoyed the Neil Campbell: wheatfield one.

It takes about 20-25 minutes to see the gallery. Nice display of artwork by local artists. Free entryVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
