Contemporary Calgary is pleased to present LOOK2024, an exhibition featuring the work of many of Canada’s most significant artistic talents available for auction this year. This exhibition is built upon the extraordinary generosity of our friends and supporters who have contributed to the growing success of our contemporary art community here in Calgary and indeed much further afield.

The LOOK Gala began in 2014 as an art auction and fundraiser to support the establishment of Contemporary Calgary and to help realize a new vision for the Centennial Planetarium as a centre for art in Canada. LOOK is recognised as one of the most anticipated events, one that reflects not only the breadth and diversity of artistic practices but also the beauty and strength inherent in the artistic experience. For this milestone tenth year, the LOOK Gala titled The Dada Ball embodies the spirit of renewal and resilience in times of disillusionment and increasing polarity.

Center stage at the LOOK Gala is our live and silent auction featuring the work seen in this exhibition. When you support the Contemporary Calgary auction you are supporting the artists directly as well as Contemporary Calgary’s expansive exhibitions and public programs.

We would like to thank the artists and gallerists who have graciously supported the art auction again this year, for their vision and leadership. We are also grateful to the collectors in the community for supporting the LOOK auction in the spirit of philanthropy as they help shape the future of contemporary art in our city.
