The Nude in Modern Canadian Art
Don’t miss this first-ever major exhibition to explore the nude as a subject of Canadian art in paintings, drawings, sculpture and photography from 1920-1950. Glenbow is the only Western Canadian venue for this stunning travelling exhibition from the Musée des beaux-arts du Québec.  

Kent Monkman: The Triumph of Mischief
Calgary’s first major exhibition of internationally acclaimed Canadian artist Kent Monkman presents his powerfully evocative work that overturns constructed stereotypes in the history of art and popular culture. Through oil paintings, sculptural pieces, films, videos and photography, Monkman creates an “Old West” as a land of cross-dressing and role swapping play between “cowboys and Indians.”
