| - It's hip to be geek at Endeavor. Am I for real? An art gallery that embraces funky culture and new media? If only Calgary could be so lucky... well, we are.
Endeavor by day is a bright open space in what used to be The Night Gallery. You old school club goers should remember that space on 1st SW. You should see it now! Big windows, skylight, white walls, bathrooms with doors... oh yes. The space has attained a class its predecessor would never have known.
My favourite time to check out Endeavor is during a First Thursday evening. You know that event that many of you know from Art Central? Well, it extends all the way down here, and to many places in between. Endeavor's always got some kind of event planned for First Thursday. I made a robot at the last event.
Other great times at the gallery have included Geek Movie Night (the last one I was at, we watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long blog), more First Thursday events and even a great big ol' party, known as WSKEO #75 (We Should Know Each Other). As a party space with bands and the likes, it's not that great, especially if you like your music loud. The acoustics just don't work here. But I've also been here for some acoustic performances. For that, it's just lovely. And the space can be easily re-arranged to accommodate a variety of setups. I guess that's why the "event space" tag is part of the title.
Endeavor is not your ordinary art gallery. Keep your eye on this spot.
