Newzones is pleased to announce 28 YEARS..., a group exhibition celebrating 28 years of Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art.

June 4th, 1992. An abstract painter and a recent business graduate opened the doors of Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art in a steel plant in Calgary’s warehouse district. The pair (mother/daughter) set out to introduce and promote Canadian artists not only in Calgary and Canada, but on the international art stage. As a result, Newzones has grown into one of North America’s leading galleries of contemporary art.

28 YEARS... will showcase how Newzones has established its position in the contemporary art world by bringing together established senior artists with mid-career and emerging artists from across Canada and the world. The cohort of artists blend together into a critically engaging exhibition of line, form, and colour. Newzones is proud to continue working to maintain Canada’s contemporary art status on the international stage, during a time of no art fairs; 28 YEARS... will be yet another example of Newzones’ expertise in the promotion of contemporary art.

Curating two exhibitions side by side, 28 YEARS... | PAPER will showcase works on paper by international artists such as Ross Bleckner, Jack Bush (1909-1977), Alex Katz, Jaume Plensa, and Donald Sultan. Concurrently, 28 YEARS... | SUBSTRATE will demonstrate significant paintings from Dan Christensen, Franco DeFrancesca, Cathy Daley, Graham Gillmore, Bradley Harms, Joshua Jensen-Nagle, Marie Lannoo, William Perehudo (1918-2013), and Newzones veteran Colleen Philippi and many more.
