Artfirm Gallery was located at 617 – 11 Ave SW in Calgary from 2005 to 2010. We presented many wonderful exhibitions while in the “lower level”. We closed the gallery doors at that location on December 31, 2010. Artfirm continues to connect clients with amazing art … now via the web! Please stay tuned as we go into this new season…
