cSPACE King Edward is our flagship project, a multi-disciplinary arts and community hub in the community of South Calgary. The 47,000 sq.ft. multi-tenant facility is home to small and medium-sized non-profit organizations active in the arts and community sectors as tenants, each with their own staff, members, audiences and constituents. Artists also reside as tenants within the facility creating in disciplines such as photography, filmmaking, illustration/graphic design, painting, print-making, jewellery, mixed-media, fashion, costume-making, and sculpture. A co-working space provides short-term flexible space for members who use shared desks on a monthly and daily basis.

In addition to supporting these varied tenant uses, cSPACE King Edward includes highly adaptable event, performance, rehearsal, and meeting spaces. A Studio Theatre supports bookings for theatre, music, cinema and dance presentation or rehearsal and event uses. Public art in common areas and exhibition spaces throughout the facility and grounds provide spaces for artistic events to occur while supporting a vibrant place for the community to gather.
